Question 1

Does this product come with 2 in 1?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is two sticks of ram that are 8 gigs per stick totaling 16GB

Question 2

How do you get the RAM to 3600mhz in BIOS need to know how since ryzen 7 3700x eats up ram like no tommorow?

Accepted Answer

I was not able to get it stable at 3600mhz unfortunately. I can't hold it against them since it's not a kit you ideally use with Ryzen processors. I am running an MSI Tomahawk and tried a ton of different settings.

Question 3

Why DDR4 RAM is so expensive?

Accepted Answer

DDR4 RAM is expensive because most manufacturers have shifted production to DDR5, reducing DDR4 supply, while securing limited DDR4 allocations mainly for servers and enterprise systems instead of desktop PCs; combined with ongoing demand, past production cuts, and distributor markups, this keeps prices high.

Question 4

How is the overall performance of the MEM 2*8G|GSK F4-3600C18D-16GVK R memory?

Accepted Answer

The G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB DDR4 3600 RAM is generally praised for its performance, reliability, and build quality, making it a good choice for many users.

Question 5

I have this exact memory but with CAS Latency of 16. 
Will these be compatible if I want to double my memory with their 18 Latency? Running a system with an MSI X570-A Pro mobo. Thanks for your answers in advance!

Accepted Answer

It is a difference of 2.5 nanoseconds and 12.75 nanoseconds higher CAS timings can result in a higher latency even with higher clock speeds. However, that doesn’t explain what happens in a situation where the true latency of two sticks of RAM are tied, despite them having different clock speeds (because the faster-clocked choice has a worse latency). In situations where that kind of tie occurs, the higher speed of RAM takes precedence over which has superior CAS latency. Thus, when comparing a stick of DDR4-3000 RAM with a CAS of 15 and a stick of DDR4-3600 RAM with a CAS of 18 (which would both have a true latency of 10 nanoseconds), the DDR4-3600 should be preferred.

Hence the answer is YES they will work together but one will always take preference over the other so best option would be to match em all if possible .

Question 6

Will I be able to get 3600 Mhz out of the box with a B550 MOBO and 3rd or 4th gen Ryzen CPU?

Accepted Answer

To reach the rated 3600 MHz speed, you will need to enable XMP/DOCP/A-XMP in the BIOS, as the memory kit will boot at the SPD speed with default BIOS settings. The stability and ability to reach the rated 3600 MHz speed will depend on the compatibility and capability of your motherboard and CPU.

Question 7

Will the Asus ROG StrixB5550 motherboard and this ram work with the Ryzen 5800X and the RX 6800 XT when they release?

Accepted Answer

yes

Question 8

I have the ASrock OC Formula Z170, anybody able to get this stable at a speed anywhere near the 3600 advertised?  The pcpartspicker says it's compatible but ASRock's site says it isn't.

Accepted Answer

If pcpartpicker says it'll work then most likely it will. Also for that price, if you aren't able to at least oc to 3600mhz then why in the world would anyone buy it lol. I hope you have a big budget :)

Question 9

Rank single or double?

Accepted Answer

According to taiphoon burner, it shows them as Single rank. However, this kit advertises as DDR4 3600, but I have been unable to get mine stable above 3200, just a word of warning...

Question 10

Would this work for my HP Gaming Desktop?  Its a 690-0013W.  Looking for a viable option of Ram Upgrade around this price to boost my current ram from 8gb to atleast 16, I have only two slots for ram as well, so looking to get the best bang for the buck!

Accepted Answer

This RAM is not going to be compatible with the PC you mentioned. You will need RAM that is A) compatible with your specific motherboard and B) compatible with first gen Ryzen chips. I would suggest nothing higher than 2933 for easy compatibility.
