Amazing RAM and product family

I've been running this dedicated G.Skill TridentZ RGB series memory overclocked to 3733MHz on my Ryzen7 and Ryzen9 systems for the past month. Absolutely performed like a rock star! Not once have they failed, rebooted, caused boot problems, or even remotely heated to dangerous levels. Where other 3600 memory modules from other well-known manufacturers have failed for me, these have left a lasting impression on me. I have been using various G.Skill memory modules in high-performance systems for…

Pros
  • Internal
Cons
  • Good but not great

Ryzen. Friendly. As if? Not really. *Updated*

Ryzen 2700X + MSI M7 X370 is not suitable for the nominal frequency of 3600 MHz. I've tried literally everything, it just doesn't boot at 3600MHz, but it does boot at 3333MHz and 3466MHz. The performance gain was very small, around 3-4 points for single-core performance, and multi-core performance dropped a few points. The storage feels and looks premium, so it has it all. I didn't expect it to work, but I decided to take the risk anyway. Update: Rebuilt Ryzen (2700X) with Gigabyte Aorus Gaming

Very happy with G.SKill and RAM so I bought more.

I already have a set of these 2x8GB RAM and was very happy with it so I bought it again. I like RGB optically. It is compatible with my x570 Meg Ace motherboard. The RAM ran at default speed and XMP profile settings. In addition, G.Skill has an excellent warranty and RMA process. The story behind this is that I had my original RAM kit for about a year. I was looking for the cause of the application crash and was surprised when the memory test failed the write/read back test on one of the two…

Pros
  • Memory
Cons
  • Ease of maintenance
