I have put 2x16G sticks of this this in the ASUS Prime X399-A with a Threadripper 1950x. Setting the speed in the BIOS it runs at 3066 without any problems. I did get a BSoD after a few minutes when I tried it at 3200.I am going to try tweaking the timings to see if I can get it to run at the stated speed, but I am happy enough with this. I am hoping to add another couple of sticks soon.<Update>I was able to get the RAM running at a stable 3200 without too much work. However... I have now added a second identical set to get to 64G and I am back to running at 3066MHz for now (the PC failed to POST with the newly added RAM).

Very satisfied with my CMU16GX4M2C3000C15 kit on a Ryzen system, especially as I got a Warehouse deal on it. The XMP profile worked tight out of the box, and I was even able to get a mild overclock out of it. I'm currently running it at 3066MHz 14-17-17-17-35-52-1T (GearDown disabled) and this is stable in both MemTest and on an Aida stability test, even with an overclock on the CPU. For those with a Ryzen system, you need to disable GearDown in the BIOS in order to get the rated CL of 15, though my kit is working fine at CAS14.It uses single-rank Hynix A-die chips. A kit with Samsung B-dies will definitely be better, but at the time of writing these were selling for around 70% more than this.

This was a chip set for a new build to replace my old GDDR3 ram, I had to make an emergency last minute purchase in this case and it arrived promptly the next day. It has integrated with my rog strix b450 gaming motherboard with no issues at all and was very easy to install onto the motherboard, the blue lights are stunningly bright which fits in brilliantly with the rest of the lighting on my rig. After installing the two chips I realised the lights pulsate in unison with each other which was another added bonus. It wins on looks and class in my books considering its not an rgb item.The clock speed is as stated when looking on the bios and was able to tune them with ease.I've used corsair ram

I bought this due to my white and black themed rig.I have 4x8GB initially, however, I did encounter an issue where I kept getting a BSOD due to ram error. Now, it would seem it wasn't my motherboard as I bought another 2x8GB and the solution was fixed.Corsair RMA replaced them VERY QUICKLY and the next set of 4x8GB have been working flawlessly for last 2 years. Sadly, that means I have 48GB RAM now, and might onsider seeing my 2x8GB as I will never utilise my 48GB despite my rig being focused both workstation/gaming.Performance, 10/10 (ignoring the failed stick that was replaced very efficiently by Corsair)Aesthetics, 10/10 for my themeHighly recommended and they even have RGB versions now!

Amazon never cease to amaze me. My original order for the ram had been taken by a delivery driver and not given to me so I was worried that I wouldn't get my item or have to pay again for it. Thankfully I got in touch with someone at amazon and she hooked me up with a brand new pair of ram sticks delivered the next day. So far they are working perfectly, you may have to alter some settings in the BIOS for the ram sticks to work to their full potential but other than that I am happy with my purchase and I hope they last for a long time.

Really good ram sticks, look beautiful. Marked down by a star because one stick was slightly bent. Fairly normal though! Nothing the ram slot won't straighten outUpdate:When looking at corsair link and changing the lighting of these, I realised the bent stick does not actually change lighting settings. if I change the LED setting to static, then the straight stick stays static, however, the bent stick does not.Update:After receiving perfectly straight replacements, all is good. No complaints. Review revised to 5 stars

In spite of the fact that this ram isn't Samsung b-die ram (which was really what I needed to go along with my ryzen set up but only found put as discoveries were made as things progressed) It still performed as anyone should expect from corsair: outstanding despite the reduced clock speed (a ryzen issue which will hopefully be resolved one day).The white led's on top of the Dimms go well aesthetically with the other components and the ram performs as it should but should really be paired with an i7 or i5 ect.

Pretty lights and great performance, but a tad pricey.Other than that, well... it's 2 sticks of 8GB of DDR4 RAM amounting to 16GB, with a CAS Latency of 15 and maximum frequency of 3000Mhz there isn't much else to say.Note: the default ram frequency is 2133Mhz, to get the full 3000Mhz you'll need to enable the XMP profile, usually found in the BIOS. (Make sure your motherboard supports XMP and 3000Mhz RAM)

with the price coming down on ram now was the time to buy. went for the 3200 speed ram as i felt this gives the best speed for price performance. as with any other ram just plug and play , remember to config in the bios and was up and running in moments with the correct rated speed. led is a clean white glow didnt want any rgb no fussed on that. recommend this ram for any AMD or Intel system.

Used the Ram Stick for nearly a year and had 0 Problems.The heat dissipation is very good, the Sticks NEVER get too hotThe RBG's are easy to control using the Corsair Management Suite (Can have the Led's Pulse of stay Static Red)The Ram was easy to overclock and has given me 0 performance issues.Happy to say the Ram is designed well and offers that extra wow factor being RBG Red :)

Corsair quality, 3000 in XMP and worked first time and consistently. Red LED is effective if an RGB look is desired. I could not get a solid light with the Corsair Link 4 software, only a pulsing effect but a software update in the future may correct this. Still effective in a system with red lighting and in my opinion looks better in a windowed system than plain black ram.

FINALLY a set of ram i've been able to get to work with my new Ryzen 5. First lot was incompatible, constant crashes. 2nd lot one of the boards failed then these arrived. Ok only 2133mhz at stock but once configured correctly got the full 3200mhz out of them.Plus they're bright red. So works with all the other red bits in my pc.

the built-in red lights are fasinating, constantly moving; units are relatively cool, I decided to instal 4, 32 Gb. because the cooler obstructed some of slots, if I had waited it meant uncementing the cooler unit from the chip which is messy, it was easier installing at this stage

Works on RYZEN AM4 motherboards. Im using a Crosshair hero board ( x370 ) . it will post at 2400 speed . and it can be pushed to 2666 for now.Other users on AMD subreddit have got there's to full 3200.We are waiting for more BIOS updates from motherboards companies.

Very good product. Has nice white LED's which go with my build quite nicely. Very good performance and a good price considering the speed and capacity of the RAM.Would definitely recommend to someone looking for cheap RAM which looks nice and has good performance
