I recently made a massive PC upgrade/overhaul, moving from an FX-8320 and FXA-990 mobo...to a R7 2700X and Gigabyte Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming. With that said, I also had to retire my 32GB HyperX DDR3 1600MHz CL10 RAM. I couldn't downgrade in RAM capacity, and intend to max out my mobo's DIMMs at some point. Judging by the "Verified Purchase", and this review, you can guess what I ultimately went with.
Out of the box, you'll expect, and might be confused, as to why the RAM is running at 2133MHz. This is pretty standard. So you'll definitely need to go into your UEFI BIOS and select "XMP Profile 1" to ensure it's running at its best. It might vary on how/where you need to enable that. But I've decided to attach some images from my BIOS.
Since I don't have other DDR4 to compare this to, I can't offer benchmarks. All in all, it's low profile, and even if it isn't RGB--it still looks great.
