The DIMM kit we received is a 32GB in total, it is low-latency at a CAS latency of 14. Each DIMM is 8GB a piece and thus dual and quad channel compatible. If you like to see it under the product name then search for Trident Z F4-3200C14Q-32GTZ (8GBx4). You should be able to find it at roughly 239 EURO and in the USA $229.99, not bad for 32GB huh ?
Here we have the DIMMs after unpacking. These are 8 GB 3200 MHz DIMMs in a kit of 4x DIMMs, we received the black & white design ones. Great design, cool that the PCB is black as most motherboards have a black PCB as well these days. Intel XMP version 2.0 if of course supported. Mind you that you have color options, red/black, white/black, white/grey and so on.
As you might have noticed from that sticker, this kit can manage latency's of 14-14-14-34 at 1.35 Volts, and that is a rather nice low latency for this memory alright. For optimal stability we do recommend you stick to the manufacturer suggested settings at default SPD or XMP 2.0 profile which you can easily enable in the motherboard BIOS.
We like the black PCB and the matching heat-spreader, styling wise (hey it matters in a high-end cool looking rig) this is a very tasteful kit as well as aesthetically wise. The kit is dual/triple/quad-channel, you could opt for a 16GB kit with two or four DIMMS as well. With expensive memory often come some extras, G.skill offers a limited life-time warranty with these memory modules, you can't beat that.
Though a bit overkill for most of us, 32GB with four DIMMs does kinda rock. These days in a PC we recommend 8GB as default minimum, 16GB for a little extra in your spicy gaming rig and 32GB for the ones that use memory intensive applications / do memory intensive transcoding and/or content creation.
