Review on 💡 G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 4266 Desktop Memory - F4-4266C19D-16GTZR Review & Buying Guide by Jake Hill

When I bought these I knew there wouldn't be a single click to reach the maximum overclock. My motherboard is rated for 4500 RAM, so that's not a problem. That being said, after over a week and hours of testing timings, voltages, slots, speeds, sticks (ordered two of them), bioses and even various 8700k and 9900k processors and every configuration imaginable, I was never able to load past 3900MHz. I contacted manufacturer support and emailed for a week. They didn't have any useful information, just a low level rep who can't say anything but set xmp or set the settings advertised. They haven't read a single word I've written in many of the emails, or have absolutely no clue about anything technical, possibly both. If they were sold as 3900MHz RAM that would be 5 stars, unfortunately they are not and you just don't get what you paid extra for.
