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!
