- Q1 202688/100
Buyers report the RAM works as advertised with XMP/EXPO on various boards, with some noting low profile and good value. A few mention speed limitations or a defective module.
- Works out of the box with XMP/EXPO on Intel and AMD boards; stable at advertised speeds.
- Low profile design fits large coolers like Noctua NH-D15; good for compact builds.
- Good value for DDR5; some overclock beyond specs (e.g., 6200) with manual tuning.
- One defective module reported; G.Skill support offered replacement. Another couldn't reach 6400.
- Q1 202393/100
Buyers report the RAM works as stated, hitting 6000 MT/s on Z790 and AM5 platforms. Initial boot times can be long due to memory training, but performance is solid after BIOS updates.
- RAM runs at advertised speeds with XMP enabled on both Intel and AMD platforms.
- First boot can take 5-20 minutes due to memory training, but improves after BIOS update.
- No errors in memory testing; reliable out of the box.
- Initial price for new technology is high, though not a functional issue.
