Pros: I have used this memory paired on an EVGA z390 Dark mobo and an i9-9900k and it booted the xmp profile no problem out of the box. I have never had to do anything else it just worked. Infact I took a chance as I got the mobo early before it was added to the approved list(which you should never do). I fortunately got a good cpu sample with a great memory controller and with the orientation of the dimms on the Dark mobo I have not run into any issues what so ever. It also looks great blended with my gold/copper hardware accents on the interior of the case.

Cons: I honestly don't have any.

Overall Review: When you are pushing DDR4 to this level or beyond, you really need to make sure your motherboard is cable of playing ball with your CPU, you also need to make sure your CPU's on die memory controller isn't garbage. When in doubt always refer to your motherboard's recommended supported memory.
