Beware of comments here with misinformation and false quality allegations or about fake incompatibility issues with this ram and mobo. It's compatible and a good price (also people tend to dismiss anything based on price)
It's a modern motherboard with modern bios software capable of doing amazing things with a Ryzen chip. Look up infinity fabric. It's some insane stuff
Paired with a good amount of decent budget ram. There's only a few factories that manufactures this type of ram so the name means very little. It call comes from the same factories
What AMD's IF tech does is allows your gpu to access the pool of ram memory quickly as if it was its own. It might be another gimmick but I've been using it for 3 years with this same ram and love it.
Look here for timing tips: https://imgur.com/6ZSDax7 What you want is absolute latency of 10. Anything lower and most of us won't see any returns
As you see there's a number of combinations that get to 10 or lower. In your bios this will be easy to test until you're happy with the speed. The speed listed on the product is just a factory setting they're confident of. Going over may void warrantee etc

When I was about to buy this ram it was two of the same stick not a pair and everyone was telling me the same thing. Doom and gloom and the unpaired sticks would fail etc
Glad I didn't listen. I hope people here can see through this sky is falling nonsense. It's gonna be ok
For the hundredth time you can set whatever timings you want with this mobo and ram. It's tested working. And a lower CL # is also needed or you're only posting half the equation anyway
Yes there is a fundamental difference in our understanding on RAM spec and overclocking. It is ok though.
This is a budget motherboard. It has a heat sink on the VRM, so it's an OKish entry level B550 motherboard for $90.
The Ram bundle takes it to $130. That's $40 for 32G. Yeah, it's slow. But I got a 16G kit of 3200MHz-CL16 for $59. So 32G for 66% of the cost, it's still a deal. If you have an Intel build slap it in there or flip it on EBay or Craig's list. If you can sell it for more than $40 your making out.
If you want a better motherboard or faster Ram don't buy it.
So you know. Someone did run it off the gpu memory alone
That isn't how it works. That isn't how any of this works. Just a heads up
I have had the same exact ram for a few years and run it stable at well above that. The ram alone is fine. You need the mobo and bios to run it faster and the chip to benefit from it
Thanks for that.

You, and all but a couple commentators, understand precisely zero about how this works and think some magic single stat you found means anything
Thanks for that.
Tell me you know zero about this subject without saying you know zero about this subject
It isn't hard. It is just some aegis ram ffs lmao! No need to be scurred
You, and all but a couple commentators, understand precisely zero about how this works and think some magic single stat you found means anything
Yet you, or anyone, can't post a single example of anything I've said that's wrong. Yes regale us all with your tales about a product you haven't had years of experience with! Or any for that matter
Tell me you know zero about this subject without saying you know zero about this subject

But either way, you can keep believing what you want. If it suits you, more power to you. None of this matters to most anyone on Slickdeals anyways.
Yeah. Thought so
All talk lol
Either way it's all good, I understand the need for attention.
Have fun and Goodluck!

I smell only child. The level of coddling involved here must have been massive. Zero accountability. Must be darn nice to just spout nonsense without having to ever back it up lol
So, I think this is an OK deal if someone wants to make Photoshop box where quantity is more important than RAM quality.
Ppl like you always pick flashing RGB lights and shiny chrome ram over actually bothering to figure out how to set your ram up or whether it's even benefiting you
Oh look there's one now. Yes review the product you have zero hands on experience with and make up fake labels. As is the SD way!
Edit: this is sarcasm btw it isn't hard but it sounds hard af. Not gonna lie. See below for instructions. And also he's alleging falsely there's a compatibility issue
