This RAM kit is so cracked that I bought two of them

Pros: Two kits will net you 128GB of RAM giving you enough room to install Linux or Windows on it The heat spreader is heavy and durable enough to double as a weapon in case a scalper tries to steal your GPU You can flex on all of your friends that you had over $1000 to blow on system memory Supposedly they're super fancy "Hand Picked ICs" that are excellent for overclocking... (I haven't tested the limit on this yet)
Cons: Dual Rank SK Hynix CJR (I think) Modules makes overclocking on Ryzen fun They get quite toasty... even at 1.387V I had them exceeding 60C under a stress test The whole "royal" aesthetic of their "patented full-length crystalline light bar" and their polished finger-print-magnet heat spreader looks like canine waste excretion Flexing on your friends will not fix the fact that you feel lonely / empty inside and may make it worse
Overall Review: Admittedly I have no clue what I'm doing with two of these kits. In order to get them to play nice on Ryzen 3000, they require a TONNE of fine tuning as the XMP profile is basically useless. Additionally, I found out after ordering these kits that I have a Daisy-chain topology motherboard (X570 AORUS Master), further complicating things; be sure to check this out before you populate all 4 DIMM slots on your board. For anyone out there wondering, the G.Skill 042 code on these sticks are 04320XS820C which I think makes them SK Hynix CJR modules (don't quote me on this last bit).
