Nice review as always HH.
I have ballistix in my second computer and love them.
These in red might fit nicely into my Ryzen 2 upgrade. Even without the RGB! 🙂

No RGB no buy. :P

So one price listed is 120 Euros for 16GB, 2x8. The other price is 80 Euros for 16GB, 2x8. So, I guess this is MSRP vs. actual street pricing? If so, this DDR4 is extremely well-priced--quite the bargain! It's only a tad slower than my own Patriot Viper Elite PV416G320C6K @3200MHz 16 16 16 36 1T, 2x8GB kit bought several moons ago for ~$180...! (Runs fine in my Ryzen 5 desktop.) I guess this is "budget 3200MHz DDR4". Nice find! Saving $$$--always fun! One suggestion: a paragraph devoted to the "Lifetime Limited Warranty" examining the pros and cons thereof is always interesting and informative reading--some of them are good while some are little more than pro-rated purchase schemes, etc. Micron is a reputable company, though, with a well-established track record--the last pre-built desktop I owned was in fact a Micron system in 1995 (after that it was 100%-roll-my-own systems, & never-look-back...;))

Where's the 79€ Price tag taken from, or is that supposed to be MSRP?
I've looked around and LPX Vengeance as well as this kit (2x 8gb 3200 CL 16) sell for ~99€ respectively in Germany.

yeah MSRP is before VAT tax sadly, but that's not HH's fault neither i expect HH to go on and look up the price for every country in the world those are sold !

This review has some flaws in it. One is this line : "HyperThreading is much appreciated, so Intel processors are in favor." Most of AMD's latest CPUs also support hyperthreading such as the Ryzen 7 series and above. Not all of them do though just as not all Intel processors support it either.
Also, this statement : "WPrime is a good tool checking both the performance and stability (so overclockers like it very much). We put the PC under maximum stress and calculate 1024 M of prime. This utility is making calculations of a set number of square roots using Newton’s method for functions estimation, and then it verifies the results by squaring them. This final result is compared with the original numbers, in search of any discrepancies." Firstly, WPrime does not calculate prime numbers. It calculates square roots as described in the subsequent sentence. Secondly, no results from this test appear in the article so why bother describing it?
