G.SKILL Flare X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) AMD X370 / B350 / A320 Memory (Desktop Memory) Model F4-2400C16D-16GFXR

Pros: System: Ryzen 5 2600x MSI B450M Gaming Plus (Updated to latest BIOS) I had originally ordered G.Skill Ripjaws 5 DDR4 3200, but ran into a compatibility issue. It would only recognize one of the 8GB sticks. I sent those back, and ordered these. This specific kit was not listed on the MSI QVL; however, it was listed on the G.Skill QVL (which is actually more up-to-date than the MSI QVL). This kit installed easily and booted right up to the BIOS screen. I set the XMP to the 3200 Profile, and everything has worked flawlessly since.

Cons: Looks great Great price (one of the cheapest 3200 kits that are Ryzen compatible) Compatible with the latest Ryzen 2000 series CPUs and MOBOs

Overall Review: None

Pros: Dual Rank B-Die... 'nuff said. Still the best of the best.

Cons: Not necessarily a con, but something to be aware of... Dual Rank memory is a little different than Single Rank when it comes to dialing up clock speeds & tightening timings. Voltages you used to use may not be enough in this case. Don't be surprised, just find the balance between voltage and speed and move on. Read my full review for my experience.

Overall Review: Rock solid stable RAM. I've also used their 16gb Flare-X b-die kit... which also was rock solid stable. It's being run on a Gigabyte x470 gaming 7 rev 1.1 motherboard with a 3700x processor cooled by a Noctua NH-D15 single-fan. Was able to get it to 3400mhz with 14-14-14-28-42-1T-GDM OFF w/ subtimings REALLY tight... with only 1.41v... SOC voltage at 1.1v. Passed four passes of MemTest 86, 6000% RAMTEST, and Prime95. Most importantly - Battlefield V didn't crash it either - HAHA (seriously though... that game puts a ton of pressure on the system - it will "help" find instability). My case is set up for cooling, so it never gets over 37*C at that voltage under sustained load. Being dual-rank, it's not as easy to dial it up to 3600mhz/3800mhz... it often requires increasing processor's SOC voltage even further, which I've chosen not to do. My previous single-rank 16gb kit went 3600mhz 1.45v and 1.1v SOC... but this one throws CPU errors at those same voltages. That's fine though... 3400mhz with ultra tight timings is really good and this kit actually gets me better scores at 3400mhz than my previous did at 3600mhz (with less RAM voltage required). Gets me over 5000pts on cinebench R20 consistently (no overclocking for the processor... not even PBO... I just leave it on AUTO and let it do it's thing). FPS in games is stable and frametimes are consistent (more-so than with the 16gb kit... not sure if it's because of 32gb -or- because of being dual rank -or- both). Overall - another A+ home run from G.Skill. THANK YOU for continuing to make B-Die products for us enthusiasts!

Pros: The G.Skill Flare X (2x8GB) F4-3200C14D-16GFX ddr4 ram was easy to install and setup to get the rated 3200 speed. A few days later started having error code pop ups and reboots. I ran windows 10 memory diagonistics. 1st pass ok, 2nd pass at 75% detected problem. I swapped the ram sticks and booted into default 2400. Ran chkdsk on c:, ran sfc scannow which found corrupted files and could not repair some. Did repair of wim file, ran dism to restore health. Ran sfc /scannow again, this time it found and repaired/ replaced corrupted files. shut down set ram to 2933 speed booted and ran memory diagnostics, all is ok. Rebooted to bios and set memory to xmp file 2, rebooted and ram is running at 3200 speed. Ran memory diagonistics test and all is running fine. I added all this information because I know a lot of people run into simular problems with memory speed and it is not always the fault of the ram. In my case the memory diagnostics said it detected ram errors in 2nd pass, but after performing all the operations as I did above, the memory diagnostics shows the ram to be in perfect condition running at 3200 speed cl14. So before going to the trouble and delays of returning ram as bad, be sure to check out things as well as you can. The G.SKILL Flare X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) F4-3200C14D-16GFX DDR4 3200 RAM is fantastic ram. I hope this little review can help some of you.

Cons: I have no cons to report for this product.

Overall Review: I did a lot of research before purchasing the ram for my X470 system build because I had seen a lot of posting complaints about ram stability and speed on Ryzen cpus and am4 motherboards. My build, MSI X470 Gaming Plus ATX mb, AMD Ryzen R5 2400G apu, AMD Wraith Max Cooler, Team Group L5 LITE 3D 2.5" 240GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal ssd (entire drive for windows 10 1903). 1 tb WD Blue work hdd, 3 tb WD Red storage hdd, StarTech 4 port USB 3.0 front panel hub, LG BlueRay DVD r/w optical drive all installed in Thermaltake Versa H22 midtower case and powered with Ultra LSP 550 watt ps with AOC 23 inch display monitor. Ram installed easy into mb A2-B2 dimm sockets with minimal pressure and locked in. with only ram and cpu installed, booted into bios, ram at default 2400 speed, set axmp on to xmp file 2 and restarted into bios, ram speed now 3200. Shut system down installed Team 240 ssd that already had windows 10 installed mbr bios. Booted into bios saw ssd connected, saved and booted into windows, installed new mb drivers, system and chipset, and ethernet drivers. Rebooted and used convert mbr2gpt to convert windows 10 ssd from bios mbr to uefi gpt. Rebooted into windows and system now is uefi. Shut down and connected all other devices and hdds. Rebooted went into windows update and updated. System running stable and speedy.

Pros: I setup the memory settings per the rating of the RAM and it works just great at 3200 on my ASUS Prime X370 Pro.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I highly recommend this product to people who want 3200 RAM speeds with their new Ryzen system.

Pros: Worked at rated speeds out of box Recognized by Gigabyte x470 Ultra Gaming mobo w/ Ryzen 2600x OC potential amazing, currently running at stock timings and voltage @ 3333 will be trying for 3400 once case arrives Looks great Timings are as follows: 3333 - 14-14-14-34-48-1T

Cons: All Ram pricing

Overall Review: Highly recommended, I've been purchasing G.Skill ram for 8+ years now and they've always given me a great product. This kit of DDR4 does not disappoint. Qualifications: 15+ years in the IT field ranging from hardware to software - tearing apart PC's since the 90s with my first Intel 150MHz

Pros: This kit is stable at 3467Mhz at 1.4v on an Asus Crosshair VI Hero motherboard. I've paired it with an R7 1700 3.9-4.1Ghz. Performance is Phenomenal and has a massively positive impact to gaming performance in particular.

Cons: Cost Money

Overall Review: If you have, or are buying an AM4 Ryzen CPU, BUY THIS RAM. You'll be glad you did.

Pros: -This is the most popular and high-speed DDR4 RAM for Ryzen builds - highly reviewed and good specs makes for an easy buy. -Discreet and out of the way from an air cooler (CM Hyper 212X on an MSI Gaming Pro - not the carbon). -Enabled the XMP through the bios, detected the 3200 and advertised timings immediately. -Computer boots insanely fast -Looks pretty cool, those black fins are cold-to-the-touch metal

Cons: -Why on Earth do I need to pay this exhausting premium for Ryzen parts? This set of dimm's was $249.99 as of January 14'th.

Overall Review: -I upgraded to these after my other set of G.SKill dimm's went bad, this was the best RAM I could find that would function in my build.

Pros: Tested to perform at the stated speed with x399 boards No ridiculous LEDs or other nonsense Minimal packaging

Cons: A bit pricey, but you don't build a Threadripper machine if price is a major factor

Overall Review: I'm not really an overclocker. I just want to get my work done and not play with hardware settings forever. My first choice of RAM required a lot of tinkering in the BIOS and was never quite stable at 2933. The G.Skill sticks required only one BIOS setting - changing the multiple to produce a speed of 2933 and accepting the auto timings and voltage. It has been rock solid running heavy loads under Linux.
