Review on πŸ’ͺ Enhance Gaming Performance with PNY 32GB XLR8 DDR4 3200MHz Desktop Memory RAM Kit by Marquez Hinshaw

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Surprisingly disappointed

This should have complemented my existing 16GB PNY Anarchy Flash drives. Mine ran like the champs with XMP 2.0 enabled and I wanted to bump up the memory to 32GB. (I've been averaging 8GB lately, so I figured why not?) Unfortunately, my problems started right after installation. I started having random BSoDs the same day I installed. Running the memory diagnostics quickly showed that a memory card was defective. (To be sure I tested one stick at a time, with XMP on and off) Well I asked Revain to send me another set, same thing. I've thought about trying a third time, but I get an error message when requesting a replacement. So now I'm taking it as a sign and just sending back my second bad kit. I was really surprised as I have bought PNY products before and they have not disappointed me. Maybe I'm unlucky, maybe this whole lack of chips will cause problems, who knows. I think I might just wait a while to get the 2x16 set and maybe try a different brand this time.

Pros
  • Exceptional performance at 3200MHz speed (PC4-25600) and backwards compatibility with lower frequencies
Cons
  • Hard to say
