I should have read the other reviews on here properly, I ended up buying 2 of these packs (4 sticks), expecting it to be as easy as my 4 sticks of DDR4 ram, but it seems like 4 sticks of DDR5 ram is kinda unstable (at least at the moment) and a real challenge to get working. I have the Ryzen 9 7950x3D - defos read through what it can actually handle with RAM. These sticks aren't on the official support page for that CPU but they do work with it. Official max speeds with that CPU are 5200 but you could probably get them going faster. But with 4 sticks, max speed is 3600 so keep that in mind. Just some gotchas that I wish I had researched...view more I should have read the other reviews on here properly, I ended up buying 2 of these packs (4 sticks), expecting it to be as easy as my 4 sticks of DDR4 ram, but it seems like 4 sticks of DDR5 ram is kinda unstable (at least at the moment) and a real challenge to get working.

Works well but the 6000 EXPO profile isn't stable but it could just be my MOBO, I went with a budget one so if you want to run this at 6000 make sure you research your MOBO and don't cheap out like I did.

I wasn't worried about RGB and this standard RAM does the job. Very happy with performance so far. I wasn't worried about RGB and this standard RAM does the job. Very happy with performance so far.

Works a treat, fast easy to install and no RGB to distract. Best choice if you want to get an AMD CPU. Works a treat, fast easy to install and no RGB to distract. Best choice if you want to get an AMD CPU.

Very good price value for performance, AMD Expo enabled works without any hitches/stability loss. CL30/64gb/6000 for this price is definitely a smart choice for all AMD CPU users Very good price value for performance, AMD Expo enabled works without any hitches/stability loss.

This was definitely worth the money, it's way faster than my old 3200MHZ, this new 6000Mhz, loads apps and web pages faster than I've ever seen!

This a MUST BUY if you are building a new AM5 computer! This was definitely worth the money, it's way faster than my old 3200MHZ, this new 6000Mhz, loads apps and web pages faster than I've ever seen!

I doubt you'll get 6000MT/s with 4 sticks but definitely can with 2 in case you were wondering.
4 sticks at slower speeds definitely doable though in case you need 128gb. I doubt you'll get 6000MT/s with 4 sticks but definitely can with 2 in case you were wondering.

Works great! I went with the CL 36 because there isn’t that much of a difference and it’s more stable then the CL 32 @ 6000mhz. Also it looks great in the case I love that it has no RGB makes my build look clean! Works great!

Works well for my requirements Works well for my requirements

Works great and have no issues in any of the games I've played. Works great and have no issues in any of the games I've played.

Yes, there is better/faster RAM out there.

There has been no issue with these sticks on an AM5 platform, turned on EXPO and I was off.
Performance is as expected for the price.

For more $$ you can get better RAM which will give you slightly better performance, I think for most people, it will be mostly negligible. Definitely doesn't feel like the RAM is holding me back in any games/programs. Yes, there is better/faster RAM out there.
