Awesome ram! and beautiful!! The ram has some weight to it that makes it feel like a quality product, and the brushed metal housing is AMAZING looking.I know there has been a lot of headache with Ryzen and Memory in the past, but with my motherboards new bios with AGESA v1.0.0.6, this ram worked perfectly out of the box using the stock XMP profile with no issue whatsoever. If you have an AGESA 1.0.0.6 bios, this ram will work perfectly for you at the rated speeds. I had first used Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz ram, and could not get past 2933MHz no matter what I did, whereas the G.Skill ram was painless and easy (and it looks a LOT better).

This product is great. Though if you want to see something cool in your case, the RGB version allows for custom colored lights on this memory.

I've bought 2 sets of this memory. Once in Dec 2017 when it was +$200 and again in May 2020 when it was priced at $80. The first set which I paid +$200 for has Hynix-M dies and the 2nd set has Samsung-B dies. Originally I gave this memory 4 stars because +$200 is too much for Hynix-M memory but I have upgraded it to 5 stars.No problems enabling the XMP profile on a Gigabyte x99 Phoenix motherboard with a 6800k modestly overclocked to 3.9ghz. Running quad-channel memory does little to nothing for gaming.I got lucky with the last set of G.Skill Trident-Z 3200mhz CL16 memory I bought. That set had Samsung-B IC's. That set I got on sale a month ago for much less than what I paid for this set.4 stars because $229.99 is too much to pay for Hynix-M die memory, or even a good 16gb kit for that matter. Last year I bought 2 kits of Corsair Dominator 3200mhz CL16 memory $129.99 and it had increased in price.I knew I was taking a gamble here with this cl16 kit but the reason I bought it was because I got free same day shipping and I needed to have the memory before 9am the next day. The x99 board and 6800k were leftovers from an upgrade I just made. I gave the board and CPU to my brother who has a z77 board, a 2500k, and a GTX 1070. He lives 300 miles away so it's not like I can make the upgrade for him anytime I'm free.If you want to check to see which brand of dies are used in your memory then download Thaiphoon Burner. There is an EEPROM test that will tell you all the details of the stick you decide to test.You can use Passmark's RAMMon but that wont tell you specifically what kind of Dies you have. It only lists the name of who makes the dies. I have a set of Dominator 3200mhz RAM that uses Samsung-E memory dies. Because Samsung makes different bins and types, you need to use Thaiphoon in order to figure out which ones you have.If you can hold off a while on buying RAM then do so. Apparently Samsung's new 10nm dies are faster and better. Samsung is going to Ramp up production on their 10nm DRAM dies in a couple months.
