It's actually meaning the xmp profiles are for AMD. Ryzen is picky about which ram it's using. However, don't just trust this "For AMD" ram will run at proper speeds on your Ryzen setup. Still check your motherboard's qvl list for it.
Latency is higher. In many situations you are paying more to not gain any performance and, in some situations you even lose performance. Unless the timing belt of these can be reduced manually, then this RAM is worse than standard.

- RGB (meh)
- QVL for almost all Z390 and X570 boards
- 3600 clock is pretty good, runs well on x570 and scales on Z390
- Timing is OK but not great
- High binned Hynix C-die / CJR
I'd spend a few extra bucks and get some fast b-die, the Team and Patriot 4000mhz (or higher) kits have been a bit over $100.
... the timing belt of these ...
That aside, yeah this isn't a great deal for this RAM (2x8GB DDR4 3600MHz with CAS Latency of 18). You're basically paying for the RGB, so if the RGB colors aren't important to you, and you happen to not know a lot about RAM:
This isn't a "slick deal" on RAM, this is just a slightly lower price on some OK sticks which have an RGB light stick on them.

I'm looking to get ram for my rig. I have a 3900x on a Asus rog strix x470-f. I tried reading up on timings but ultimately I'm just confused. I game/stream on it. I am actually buying ram to replace the old one I pulled from my previous machine. I plan to put the old ram back into my old rig to use as streaming machine so I won't be doing both on one. Any suggestions if I am looking to spend no more than 150?

If you think 16GB is enough,

These appear to be Hynix C-die. These will tune to C16 1T on a compatible motherboard or better and should overclock to 3733Mhz at least with very minor voltage bumps. Your measured latency will be lower with a higher clocked kit with reasonable timings. Especially on Ryzen.
This is the second cheapest model that has LED heat spreaders that I can find with a quick newegg search. It's not bad but if you don't need heat spacers or LED, get a Timetec kit.
For tuning, there's a handy app that will help with timings. Search for "Ryzen Dram Calculator" and check out some of the videos on it.
On the recommendation, do you care if it has a LED heat spreader or not? If not you can get a 32G kit (2x16 or 4x8) for under $140.

Thoughts? RGB is one of those nice to haves.
QVLs are horribly outdated after the release of the motherboard. The manufacturer rarely updates them.
