3200 c16-18-18 in 2018. LOL Rerelease from 2014?

Meeh, you can argue the benefits of CL 14 vs 16 for a mainstream DDR4 kit. For Ryzen yeah sure it helps a bit, for Intel ... would it really matter that much to you?

if its samsung b-die, you should be able to get better timing than 16-18-18 did you try booting at 14-14-14 1.4 volt, it should work pretty easily

For 3200MHz and at that voltage, those timings are pretty bad.

I think it is on everyone's decision. With 4 sticks I can't get perfectly stable 3200MHz no matter what timings. But 3000MHz with tight timings performs better. On other hand very expensive kits which do better do not deliver improvement high enough to justify price bump. Therefore I think, this is OK kit. Especially since it runs just fine out of the box and can be tweaked.

Have same company 2x8Gb 3200mhz but 14-14-14-31...so not impressed...
