Can they do something high on amd ryzen?

I have never understood the allure of high speed memory considering a 1 to 2 fps gain and most benchmarks within the margin of error from regular memory. What does appeal to me is no nonsense (no RGB BS) good cooling design, small footprint and solid lifetime reliability.

Consumer and most professional workloads aren't really bound by memory speeds. While lower latency is always preferable (for single-threaded bottlenecks), architectural and physical limitations of the current DRAM tech present a very steep curve to any meaningful solution. As far as the bandwidth, applications that benefit it already rely excursively on the GPU, while the rest (large DB, data mining, etc.) are way out of scope for the PC users. From my experience, paying premium for anything over DDR4-3200 is not worth it.

Thanks boss! Another awesome review!
Also it's articles/reviews like this that remind why and that I glad spend a bit more on my 2x TridentZ 16GB 4266C19 kits (1 used kit and 1 new) running at 4000 17-17-17-38@1.425v memetest stable.
Obviously 3200C14 and 3600C15-16 are usually the sweetspot performance/price wise but 4000-4400c19 aren't bad either. 😛

Guys, do you think that I should upgrade RAM in combination with Hashwell-E? currently I have Kingston 16GB KIT DDR4 2133MHz CL14 HyperX Fury Black Series and I have 2 questions. Should I upgrade to 32 GB kit CL15 3000-3200 MHz? Should I use dual or quad channel in combination with ASUS X-99A? It supports DDR4 up to 3200 MHz.
Thanks!

I think it is nice set. But people should check beforehand if they will benefit from given clock.

I'm enjoying my current Patriot Viper Elite 16GB kit (2x8) PV416G320C6K. No troubles. I paid $~190 in December of '17--it is selling now for $111.00--for the 16GB kit! OKAY--caught Amazon doing it again!... As I refreshed the link the price magically rose to $119, for the pair! Gotcha', Amazon--and your creepy price-padding algorithms! Wish I knew what the exact algorithm is! Since I don't know, I can't predict accurately. 3rd or 4th time I hit the page, the price magically rose...! Grrrrr. Don't click on the link more than twice (?) or it will jack-up the price! I've noticed similar things for Wishlist entries at times. This is not the first time I've seen this from Amazon! YMMV...!
Anyway, the odd thing I noticed here is that my kit is spec'ed at faster timings than this one at 3200Mhz. 16-18-18-36 for this ram versus 16-16-16-36 for mine @ 3200Mhz. Interesting.

Eh?.... Should also work in D3d12 multi-gpu, I would guess.

"The memory is optimized for use with the latest Intel motherboards and processors, but there shouldn’t be any problem with AMD systems either."
Are you certain about that? Not trying to be confrontational, but I'd be quite interested in seeing the outcome of pairing this kit up with a Summit Ridge memory controller.
