Question 2

Wanted to know if anyone installed these dimms with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO? And if so, were there any clearance concerns?
Thanks

Accepted Answer

hi,
Installed it with Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO on Maximus VIII Ranger in second(dim_A2) and forth(dim_b2) slots as per Asus recommendations without any issues, actually it may not fit because of cooler if installed in other slots (but I am not 100% sure)

Question 3

HI what color is this cause i see silver and red and black and red in the pictures (I wanted them black and red)?

Accepted Answer

Looking down on them in the case, you have a dominant red stripe (top side width/full length) and black fins on the bottom half (Gray fins on the upper half).  The silver is closer to a medium matte gray - and to me, darker gray in my case than the pics on NewEgg's site.  NewEgg should consider requesting from Manufacturers, a pic for main photo set of the RAM in a motherboard, using an angle based on real-life viewing.  In summary, to me the Red is the dominant color, 2nd are the black fins with the gray being background.  If you want black sides, then you'll have to find TridentZ series in a different MHz rating.  To confirm, my sticks are the TridentZ Series (2x16GB) DDR4 3000.

Question 4

Is this kit of memory working with ryzen processors?

Accepted Answer

It seems to work on my x370 prime pro (ryzen 1800X) but each bios update leads to changes. I am currently stuck at 2800, but with some of the previous updates I was up to 2999 without any fancy setup.  With any overclocking experience you can probably do better.  with the newer 2000-series ryzen, it is highly likely that you can achieve the rated speed or better

Question 5

Question 6

Is this the best RAM for MSI X99S SLI PLUS, X99 Motherboard? If not.. what is? (newbie)

Accepted Answer

This RAM has been superb for me. It works flawlessly and overclocks as easy as pie. Very stable, and in running it with an MSI  M7 motherboard, 6700K processor, and custom liquid loop, running my RAM at 3015MHZ. It should work just fine for your board.

Question 7

Is this RAM compatible with the MSI X99S SLI PLUS, X99 Motherboard?

Accepted Answer

That board supports XMP doesn't say 2.0 thou. Shows support on their site for these sticks but from the quad pack.  I run them on a gigabyte G1 z170x and they work flawlessly. Just enable XMP for rated speed in bios, or software if your mfr included.
