Review on 16GB (2X8GB) Black Owl Aura Sync RGB 3200MHz CL16 1.35V 288-Pin Desktop Gaming UDIMM DDR4 RAM OLOy MD4U0832161BHJDA by Jimmy Breaux

Ehh, too much effort

Really cool looking RGB RAM but too difficult to try to get to advertised speeds. XMP never worked, but I was slowly making progress, had it at 3400mhz on something similar to the XMP profile. But I paid for 3600mhz and that's what I wanted. Ended up getting some Trident Neo on Newegg for a good price with one of their discounts. Gotta say those Samsung chips are a wonder compared to these Micron/Hynix ones. Not knocking them, they work fine, but it's nice to not struggle with OC'ing.

Pros
  • The 288-pin arrangement ensures easy installation into compatible motherboards
Cons
  • May not have adequate security features
