G.Skill F4-3200C16D-16GTZR TridentZ RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200MHz CL16 1.35V Desktop Memory

You think these look good in videos and pictures.. They look 100x better in real life. I paired it with a Ryzen 1700. No issues so far running at 3200. Crazy pretty <3

I bought these a while back when Ryzen was just coming out. I knew the there were RAM compatibilty issues but I really liked the look of these and figured the issues would be ironed out shortly. I'm running a 1600X on a X370 Tachi motherboard with the latest Bios and I'm still unable to even boot at anything past a measly 2133Mhz. I figure i'm leaving a decent amount of performance on the table considering how Ryzen reacts to faster memory. Don't even get me started on the appalling lighting software that's glitchy as all hell. Ram sticks will often end up "Stuck" on an arbitrary colour or go off completely. Getting them going again requires some software reset, and power drain as per GSkills official help on the topic. I believe the more expensive CL14 sticks are a lot better with Ryzen but that still leaves the lighting effects that, let's face it- are probably what you're buying these for in the first place.
