Review: Galax HOF OC Lab DDR4-4400 16GB

We are checking the Galax HOF OC Lab Water Cooling 4400 MHz CL19. It was instead some GPUs (or SSDs) that we got a chance to look at from this company. That's definitely the high-end of the RAM that you can see on the market. The 16 GB kit that we got is a limited edition.

Contrary to thesis, that this "as the out-of-the-box setting is already significantly trimmed"(somewhere in conclusions) there is still room to improve.
My weak tries with 2x8GB 4400c19 gave me 64100mb/s read, 65720 write, 58200 copy and 38.8 latency, on old 8086k@5Ghz. And the same memory goes to 4300c16, 4266c16(this one have still better reads/writes/latency and copy than tested here galax@4600c19)
Thing is, to do this is needed more time, knowledge(which secondaries and tertiaries to squeeze), luck(CPU/MOBO) and again time. And patience

wishing they would use larger memory than 8gb/stick, but 16gb is the defacto gaming standard. but so many have gone to ITX and those want 16gb/stick for 32gb on an ITX mobo.
right now i'm rocking Crucial Ballistix MAX 4400 (CL18) which is both great and a departure from my usual G.Skill/Corsair dimms
IF Galax offered 32gb sets i'd buy two and put them on my main rig just for looks alone, despite all of the extra work fitting them into my (hardlined) rig.

It is good RAM, but we need more RAM now with higher densities.

Seems to make a neglegible diifference with 3200 cl14 again. Is this ram worth the money?

With lower latency and higher speeds of RAM comes improved minimal FPS.
Average FPS...nah, but minimal is what counts.
