Pretty cool looking for the price
Pros: solid feel, cool design. No lights (I am not a fan of RGB stuff)
Cons: As all have said, you need to enable the XMP 2.0 profile in your UEFI/Bios to use the full speed, but that is not specific to this product, at all.
Overall Review: The ram is pretty cool looking and the price could not be beat. I'm using this for a VM workstation, so the build quality aesthetic look fit well for me. I suppose I could have gotten some ram with a lower CAS latency, but, I'n not a high end gamer so that doesn't matter to me.
OEM Windows
Pros: It's genuine.... The actual install was very quick and easy.
Cons: It's only the DVD. For those of us who don't live in the stone ages, you'll need to have a system, currently running windows 10, to create an install USB from. I just used my laptop.
Overall Review: It's windows.... I mean, can't live with it, can't live without it. I'm dual booting Linux, but there are certain things I need from the windows environment so it is what it is.
