Stable 4x8gb @ 3200mhz @ 14-14-14-34 @ 1.35v
4x8gb of it run stably in my ASUS CROSSHAIR VI HERO with Ryzen 7 at 3200mhz.
With fast RAM, you can optimise the performance of the Ryzen even more.
Some have got up to +10FPS in games.Pro
- Optimised for Ryzen
- Stable 4x8gb 3200mhz (think very board & BIOS dependent)
- Low installation height
- Makes Ryzen faster (up to +10 FPS in games)
- Single Rank
- Samsung B-Die Chips
Contra
- Outrageously expensive

Very good RAM with corresponding price
Select XMP in the bios and RAM runs at @3200 right away.
Pro
- Ryzen XMP bios selection and operation without problems
- Price trend for 2019 points downwards if future buyer
Contra
- Price trend for 2019 points downwards, if already bought.
- Performance increase compared to 3200 CL 16/18 rather small

4x 8GB with Threadripper 2950X flawless
I have four of them in operation with a Threadripper 2950X, they run stably and without problems. The "developed for the latest AMD Ryzen processors" is mostly marketing, but in fact AMD processors benefit from the chips built into these bars, the high clock speed and the low latencies.
I recommend using the "DRAM Calculator for Ryzen" to manually set the timings in the BIOS. Compared to the existing XMP profile, you can tickle some (significant) performance out of the chips.
Since there was no kit available with four bars at the time of the order, I ordered the 2x 8GB kit twice. The RAM manufacturer does not give any guarantee that this will work, as the bars could come from different production series. However, this usually causes absolutely no problems, especially if they are ordered at the same time. Nevertheless, one should be aware of the risk.
I am very satisfied, except with the price. Even though it is very high, I recommend not to save money on AMD processors, especially when it comes to RAM.Pro

Finally RAM that runs with my 1700X and X370 Gaming 5 at high frequencies.
