Excellent overclocking potential with great flair
Right out of the packaging this RAM looks really nice in my hands. Good shape, the heatspreaders are solid and the sticks have a low profile clearance. Very attractive and looks great inside my case. RAM clicked right into the slots with no issues.Turning on my computer, I POSTed and went right to my desktop. Nice! Default RGB is a rainbow wave that looks pretty cool. Quite bright and vibrant but not overly so, just perfect imo. LED's are spread out nicely. I decided to change the RGB's using MSI's MysticLight software. No issues there, settings worked perfectly and stayed after reboot.To get the speed advertised I booted into the bios and enabled my XMP profile (using an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max MOBO, for reference). I went to POST with no issues and it ran 3200MHz CL16 timings, as advertised. Did some MemTest64 for about 15 minutes, zero errors👍Happy with the timings and speed but still curious I decided to do some manual overclocking. This essentially consists of going beyond the advertised speeds by adjusting frequency and tightening the timings in the BIOS manually instead of using a default XMP profile. Wow, I was impressed. For reference here, I am using a Ryzen 5 3600.These sticks of RAM are Micron E-die, known to have great overclocking potential and be of excellent bin quality (its good silicon). With this processor and my aforementioned mobo, I was able to actually achieve 3600MHz and CL15 timings and speed 100% stable! This is with only 1.39V as well. Quite impressive IMO! Zero errors on the MemTest again. Insane value considering the premium price of comparable 3600 MHz sticks (usually coming with worse timings too). Im confident with more voltage I could even achieve CL14 stable, but im quite happy with this.I've included a picture of the RAM in my system and my current timings/frequency. In the CPU-Z picture, note that because it's DDR RAM (double data rate) we multiply that figure by two to get 3600MHz.With this overclocking potential and the beauty of the RGB and design, this RAM is an unbelievable value and a 10/10 choice. Whether you are a plug and play type or an overclocker, I highly encourage you to purchase this. Fast RAM for a gaming rig or any kind of productivity with a great price. Great product Crucial!PS: Sorry my pictures aren't properly aligned!

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Memory
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2020
First off-I am able to run my Ryzen 2700x on an X370 Mb at 3600mhz....which shouldn't work. Previously, with Samsung B-die I was limited to 3200mhz. My machine would run 3400mhz with the B-die but was not stable. I have not fully tested the stability of these at 3600 yet but so far after Cinebench a few times and 3dmark...no crashes and no errors.

Likes:
This Micron memory is extremely friendly to Ryzen cpu
I love the low profile heatsink that includes RBG...they are the same height as Ballistix non-rbg memory.
I've just been running the RBG in asynchronous mode so far but I like it that way and the colors are sharp and not muted or muddled; they look really good.
32GB for 2 sticks of 16 GB each.

Dislikes:
??? Nothing so far.

Other:
Amazon lost the first package so it was never delivered. It was supposed to be a 1 day delivery. The second order was two days and that's fine, at least it got here.

I can't say enough about these Micron modules. I had 16GB DDR4 36000 Trident Z modules that would not run this speed on my system at all. I am shocked that the Ballistix are able to do so. My limitation right now is the motherboard, but I'd love to upgrade the MB and see how far I could overclock these babies. Your mileage may vary, but for me and my Ryzen system, this memory is the best!
