This is no fault to Newegg. I blame Asus and G.Skill for this mix-up. I was commissioned to build a PC for a client's daughter. After sitting down and going over a few different configurations, we settled on the parts list, spend more now for a good board and cheap out a bit on the processor and ram. PC specs: Ryzen 3-2200g Strix x470-f Ram: this kit. This kit of ram was on the motherboards qvl (qualified vendors list), meaning it should have been completely compatible. After assembling the PC and installing Windows, I started getting blue screens. Everything was left stock in the bios, save for a few things (CSM turned off mainly). I though this might have been due to an older version of windows 10 that I have on my USB installation drive. I downloaded the latest ... MoreThis is no fault to Newegg.

I changed everything trying to isolate the issue (cpu, PSU, SSD and after more troubleshooting, the ram.) I downloaded 2 programs, thaiphoon burner (had to turn off defender because it seen this as malware, it's not as long as you download from the official site) to identify all information for this kit of ram.

I input the timing information into the bios and finally after troubleshooting for over a week, I have achieved some stability. Unfortunately after running some stability tests, the motherboard failed to boot twice (yellow debug led indicated ram was the cause). A fellow techy that I'm friends with had an expensive kit of Samsung b-die trident Z that he let me borrow for further troubleshooting and voila! No blue screens, no crashing, d.o.c.p. runs that kit at 3200mhz cl14 beautifully. I'm done with this kit, this should not have been this difficult to get this ram working on a ryzen PC, it ran fine in my Intel system. My client wasn't too happy that their daughters PC won't be ready for Christmas and is now, understandably, refusing to pay. I'm stuck with the bill because Asus put this kit on the x470-f's qvl, because I didn't do enough research before hand (I'm not the only person that's had problems with this kit on ryzen, I've read multiple reports on quite a few forums to stay away from this kit. If only I had known this before hand) but really how much more should I have to do besides check the qvl for the board? I ordered the same kit that my friend loaned me so that I can hopefully recoup some of the money lost by selling this system after the new kit arrives.

X570 motherboard (ASUS ROG crosshair hero VIII) with this memory kit populating the 4 available DIMM slots. No overclocking at all, other than setting BIOS DOCP to DDR-3200 to match physical memory specs. System ran fine for over a year, then windows started random BSODs. Spent months debugging the BSODs: windows OS, memory, OS updates, drivers, software, dumps, BIOS updates, power supply, you name it. Turns out the memory will no longer run at 3200 MHz. If I leave EVERYTHING as it was in the BIOS and just reduce memory frequency to 3133 MHz, we are back to rock solid. If I set memory frequency back to 3200 MHz random BSOD, even if I up the CAS to 18. Given that this happened after a year of no problems I would imagine there is *something* that has fallen out of ...

Note: there is not a big difference between 3133 MHz and 3200 MHz, but the point is I bought a 64GB 3200MHz kit.

RAM is probably the easiest thing to upgrade in any system - but I'm going to advise you to buy the RAM you need up front - here is why: There are 3 main manufacturers of RAM (the actual chips soldered to the RAM module). There are manufacturing differences between the 3, which means performance variation. The way RAM controllers work, you will only achieve the best performance of your worst module. The way RAM errors manifest - you will experience anything from intermittent computer crashes to complete inability to post. Matched kits ensure that the actual RAM chips soldered to the module are from a single manufacturer - and everything is tested for compatibility. You're virtually guaranteed to get memory that works as rated, from any manufacturer. But if you buy ...

Awesome stuff! It's a pity it's too fast for my motherboard (Z370) and Intel Core-I7 9700K - they run only at the speed of 2666MHz, and motherboard (DELL XPS 8930) doesn't have any capabilities to utilize the speed of this RAM, as CPU either. But anyway, even at the speed of 2888MHz my PC runs great! I had SK Hynix RAM 2666MHz before but after changing PCIe NVMe SSD for a faster one it began crashing and BSOD'ing, so I decided to buy this one - got a very good deal for 64GBs of 3200MHz RAM. All in all it's a very good RAM. The board recognized it as soon as I installed it. Took once to reboot, and I was ready to go. Swell! Recommended. By the way, it is made by SK Hynix - the chips.
Still rocking an x99 system in 2020 as gaming at 4K my limiting factory is not the x99 platform. I was on 16GB of an original 2014 DDR4 Quad kit I got from G. Skill (Hynix). I was finally running into games that would push my RAM usage to within 85%~90%, so I decided it was time for 32GB. I knew the IMC on my 5960x was going to be the true factor of whether or not this RAM would work, but based on the timings (and confirmed when I got it), the kit is indeed Samsung B-Die. It only took minor tweaking to work, but I was able to obtain 3000Mhz on this Kit at 13-13-13-26 @1T - 1.32V. The Kit WILL do 3200Mhz (and higher) as advertised, but for 24/7 use, I was not willing to push my System Agent or RAM voltages higher on Haswell-e. I spent some time fully tweaking all ...

I spent some time fully tweaking all Primary, Secondary and Tertiary level timings to get a nice low latency and higher bandwidth (just because I like to get the max possible). Pretty darn good for x99! AIDA 64 and picture attached for system and bandwidth reference. I imagine on newer platforms these sticks are equally as good, if not better with a good IMC and cache OC.

I bought this kit primarily to have 32GB of memory because outside of gaming I occasionally work from home and all of my work tools alone use nearly 9GB just to be open. Meanwhile, all of the extra bits of software on my home PC (Corsair Icue, Razer Synapse, etc.) float around 4.5GB idle. Almost maxing out my memory when working didn't sit well with me. An unintended consequence was having mismatched but at the same time somehow matching RAM modules. When I first built my rig back in Dec 2020/Jan 2021 I grabbed a kit Ripjaws V memory to start with. They looked more gun metal grey to me than they did black. Went back and looked at my order history and turns out they are in fact a grey color, something I missed when making the initial purchase.

They looked more gun metal grey to me than they did black. Went back and looked at my order history and turns out they are in fact a grey color, something I missed when making the initial purchase. This time I bought the black ones. The neat thing out of the purchase is the alternating DIMM slots on my motherboard are black and grey with the grey being the first two slots to populate. Overall I would recommend these to anyone who has a tighter budget trying to build a new machine. They may be priced a bit higher than some other brands but they look better and more importantly, just as an opinion again, I wouldn't recommend some of these other brands just yet as I don't feel they have been around long enough to warrant absolute trust in them.
My set up: MB: Asrock B450M Pro4 CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (65W TDP) SSD: ADATA XPG SX8100 M.2 PCIe NVME SSD (.33W active) Video Card: MSI GT710 ( Less than 20W ) PSU: Fatality Gaming 550W (An overkill for this system) and of course this pair of G.Skill Ripjaws V 8GBx2 SDRAM add to a total of 16GB RAM for my Linux workstation setup. During the initial set up phase, I didn't try any overclocking as usual, only turn on the XMP2.0 profile in MB which set the memory frequency to 3200 Mhz. Loaded the Linux Kernel 4.15.0.54, everything worked just fine. As soon as upgraded to Kernel 4.15.0.70, the system started to behave with a number of hiccups. The most annoying one is when I power down the computer, the fans are still running until I manually turn off the computer. After a ...

The most annoying one is when I power down the computer, the fans are still running until I manually turn off the computer. After a couple of days of troubleshooting ruled out all of the potential software causes, I then started to look into each of the hardware components. What a surprise! The memory test shows errors in a number of tests. What? no overclocking, auto adjusted voltages pumps 1.35V to the SDRAMs, running at the advertised 3200 frequency rate, gives errors? As soon as I reduce the clock to 3133Mhz, all of memory test errors are gone! In my twenty years of building and testing hundreds of computers. This is the first time I have had such experience. Typically, RAM are advertised conservatively with a lot of head rooms because there are many potential reasons could impair their actual performance. If one is lucky, such as the system I build a couple of weeks ago. I was able to overclock a 2666Mhz rated RAM to 3200Mhz without increasing the voltage. I would not complain if I was able to run at the nominal 3200Mhz and see no memory test errors. However, if there is 1 Mhz lower than what's advertised, then I would still not complain. But 67Mhz, which is 2% lower than advertised speed. Then I'd definitely voice my opinions. While other SDRAMs give a lot of head rooms, this SDRAM can' t hold the advertised frquency. That means, the quality of this pair SDRAM is lower than many SDRAMs I have used before. I could be the lucky one of receiving this bad pair. Well, originally, I planned to return this item. I managed to placed this pair of SDRAM in another system which reached the advertised 3200Mhz without showing errors. I used a different set of SDRAM of another brand in this system to reach a better clock rate at 3333Mhz. Thus, I decided to cancel the return request in order to meet the project deadlines. Anyway, my experience stands and just like to share my experience here. To be fair, I give it three eggs as a neutal score, instead of 1 egg I gave to it at first.
Ordered with a Ryzen 5 3600 and Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) motherboard. These specific sticks (F4-3200C16D-16GVGB) are not on Asus' memory QVL but they booted fine and are running fine at XMP settings (3200 with 16-18-18-38 timings) after enabling DOCP in the BIOS. The grey heat spreaders also work well with the largely black and grey colour scheme of the motherboard. Update: I just bought another pair of this memory in June 2020 to go with the ones I bought October 2019. My installation procedure was to remove the old memory and run only the new memory through some tests and games for a day to make sure the new memory was being stressed. They passed so the following day I put my old sticks back in to run all four sticks at once. Everything works flawlessly. ...

One point of note for those who care, CPUID reads my old (Oct. 2019) sticks as using SK Hynix memory while the new sticks (June 2020) read as using Samsung memory. These DDR4 3200 CL16 sticks make for a nice budget option versus the faster DDR4 3600 CL16 sticks if it allows you to use the money you save to improve another aspect of your build, such as increasing your build's graphics card or CPU budget.

As soon as the kit arrived, I ran the system with the kit installed on B2/A2 slot and it booted up right away. I enabled the XMP 2.0 profile in the BIOS, restart and the computer and it is running at 3600Mhz without any problem. I had a lot of doubts so I ran MemTest86 from USB and ran the test overnight and it found absolutely 0 errors. I was impressed. I then decided to leave the 64Gb on A2/B2 and inserted Corsair RGB 32Gb back into the system and pretty much don't expect much except it might be able to run with both kit installed at maybe around 3000Mhz. Boy was I surprised. I was able to run this kit at 3200Mhz with all 96Gb installed in the system at 1.4V and I ran MemTest86 from USB overnight with 0 error. The result is better than if I had 2 Corsair RGB vengence kit installed at the same time. The compatibility of this kit is amazing. If I need to, I would not hesitate to buy this kit again.
