Timetec 64GB DDR4 3600MHz PC4-28800 CL18 Non-ECC Unbuffered Gaming Memory Module Upgrade Review

My first order had a bad RAM stick. My computer started freezing on the third day of installation. It could boot at base timings and hit the desktop, but would crash under heavy load. It also failed to boot with overclocking in any way. MemTest86 detected errors 10 seconds after starting the test. My replacement is a little strange. Each OC disables/interferes with my m.2 slot on my Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming motherboard. So I just bought a m.2 SATA and NVMe PCIE 2 in 1 adapter and I'm fine. I'm…

Compared to my 1700x overclocked to 4GHz. Even with XMP enabled (AMD equivalent), it didn't run at the advertised 3600 MHz. I'm not sure if this is the processor or motherboard issue. But I could only run it at 3200MHz with timings of 16-18-19-56. All in all, I'm not too upset that it didn't hit the advertised 3600MHz; At the time of my purchase, many 3200MHz RAM kits were selling for over $75 and I bought this one for just $65 with similar timings. I just hope to get full speed use of this RAM

This kit outperforms most competitors in its price range. At the time of purchase, the next cheapest kit with the same rating was $20 more expensive, with established brands expecting a premium of at least $40 over Timetec. I'll admit that brands have dropped prices since then, and you can pick up the G.Skill F4-3600C18D-32GVK at NewEgg for just $130. That's only $10 more for most likely the exact same PCBs and the exact same modules, but with some aesthetic heatsinks on top; if it was any…

This 3600mhz kit works fine for me. It uses a custom chip known to work well with Ryzen. This is important as Ryzen is more memory and overclock selective. They will be compressed to 3600MHz CL16 @ 1T with the right combination of CPU and motherboard. Without going into too much detail, it seems like most one-star reviews don't understand memory "binning" and/or memory overclocking specifically with Ryzen. Yes, the standard (industry standard) JDEC speed is 2400MHz at 1.2V. You must either set…

To be honest these products are incredibly underrated but I'm sure that's part of what keeps the price down so I'm not really complaining . And by "such products" I mean DRAM that focuses almost entirely on function rather than form or "gaming" aesthetics. The truth is that heatspreaders are way over the top even for a 3600MHz kit so I'd rather not pay a penny. additionally for her. Likewise, I don't care about RGB support, so it's nice to have an option that takes the nonsense out of the…

Note: This is an addendum to my previous positive review. ON THE SURFACE IT FEEL GOOD, bought this 64GB "ryzen compatible" Timetec kit sold at 3600MHz for my new 3950x and I was able to get the timings to 16-18-18-36 at " Standard” voltage reduce. I even ran memtest86 on the thing and it was stable the whole hour I tested it. THIS IS HERE THINGS GOED ODD ODD So the RAM was set up and seemed to be working fine. The obvious next step was to test the new system I had just built. Every test I've…

SEP 2021 UPDATE: (Note: This only applies if you have XMP/DOCP enabled. But why buy expensive RAM if you don't!) Well me have to agree with the highest rated comment on this product. This RAM is not designed to run on the 3600 CL18. While this has been working fine for me for about a year, I've been having constant issues with POST for the past few months. Not always, mind you, and they go away after a power cycle, but almost every time I've rebooted or woken up from hibernation, my motherboard
