The DIMM kit we received is 16GB in total, it a CL18 kit. Each DIMM is 8GB a piece and thus single, dual and quad-channel compatible especially for Ryzen 3000 / Threadripper 3000. You should be able to find it at give or take 99 EURO/USD, but at the time we checked that was an early listing price which we expect to drop,

Here we have the DIMMs after unpacking. A simple design, cool that the PCB is black as most motherboards have a black PCB as well these days. XMP is of course supported. The DIMMs come with a nice all dark design (no RGB LEDs). As you might have noticed from that sticker, this kit can manage latencies of 18-22-22-42 at 1.35 Volts, and that is an average latency for this memory frequency alright. For optimal stability, we do recommend you stick to the manufacturer's 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. With expensive memory often come some extras, Team Group offers a limited lifetime warranty with these memory modules, you can't beat that. Height is okay at 4.5cm.

Though 32GB is preferred for systems that need to handle complex workloads, 16GB with two DIMMs does kinda rock plenty for a proper gaming rig. These days in a PC we recommend 8GB as default minimum for your average internet PC, 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.
