Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 3600MT/s XMP profile at CL18-22-22-42, well above JEDEC DDR4 baseline
  • ✓ 1.35V operating voltage keeps thermals low for a 3600MT/s kit
  • ✓ Matched 2x8GB dual-channel kit binned to run together as a set
  • ✓ 288-pin non-ECC U-DIMM fits both Intel and AMD desktop boards

Cons

  • ✗ 16GB total is tight for heavy multitasking or 32GB-class workloads
  • ✗ CL18 primary timing is looser than CL16 kits at the same 3600MT/s
  • ✗ XMP is overclocking - needs BIOS changes and a capable board and CPU
  • ✗ Boots at JEDEC SPD speed by default, so it runs slow until XMP is enabled
