RAM runs at rated 3200 Speeds using the XMP Profile on my X570 Taichi, one thing I noticed which may be specific to my motherboard/CPU or amount of DIMM's I have installed (4) is I had to increase the SoC voltage a tiny bit to 1.19
RGB is controllable via your motherboards software or the Ballistic MOD Utility and if you want can be outright turned off.
10 year limited warranty according to Crucial's website, sure its not lifetime but chances are you will have replaced your computer once or twice by then.
No other junk in the packaging, just the RAM in its easy to open packaging.
If anything could be a bit more price competitive, but its hard to do that in the RAM market.
Additional information
Timings are 16-18-18-36, which are not listed on the Newegg page but is on their website.
Crucials website makes it easy to find out if this RAM is supported on your motherboard.
If running an AMD Zen2 or above (when that releases) based system I would go for the 3600Mhz RAM over the 3200
Also heatspeaders on RAM really doesn't do anything in case anyone was wondering even when overclocking, and haven't for a very long time, they are only there for aesthetics.
Good performance for the price
RGB lighting control software doesn’t work on X99 motherboards
This DDR4 memory kit from Crucial is a decent choice for any budget minded PC builder. It has XMP (Intel’s Extreme Memory Profile) built in which will automatically select the best “safe” settings. 3200 is a great middle of the road speed without getting into the much more expensive sets.
If you’re the PC builder that has to have the flashiest, fancy looking heat spreaders, then this offering from Crucial gives you a few color choices, Red, Black, and White. Other than the color choices they are fairly plain, but they are a good value. Please take major note that if you have an X99 based motherboard, the Ballistix MOD Utility provided by Crucial to control the RGB lights *will not work*. Not only does it not work, it bails out with an object instance error which is programming 101 kinda stuff. The fact that this is not stated anywhere in the advertising or on the product’s box is the sole reason this review dropped to two stars. The whole point of buying RGB products is to be able to control and match up your LEDs. Noted that the RGBs do flash in a random rainbow pattern without the control software.
Installed into an X99 based motherboard with an Intel i7 5820K, this RAM was rock solid and performed great. It’d be a great addition to any budget minded PC build. That in mind, it might be worthwhile to note that you can go and get a second set and advantage of a full quad channel setup. If you’re nuts about RGB and don’t have an X99 motherboard, go ahead and give this a shot. Otherwise, save yourself a few bucks and go for the non-RGB version.
