Nothing to say. Excellent, good response, very simple design, but they are effective and that is more than enough.
Used on an MSI Mag Tomahawk x870 with a Noctua NH-D15 G2 LBC: the term "low profile" is accurate, I didn't have to make any special adjustments to any of the Noctua fans.
Regarding recognition in the BIOS: set to EXPO, and presto, it's recognised and the speed is fully utilised (verified in Windows with, for example, hwinfo64).
And given the price increases (five times higher at the time of writing compared to when I placed my order at the end of October), I feel like I got a great deal and made the right choice in going for 96GB rather than 64GB.
The BIOS does not recognise these 6000 MHz memory modules, even though that was the main reason for selecting them.
I bought my RAM sticks in January 2025: 2 x 16 GB for €131.95.
Today, they cost €599.95. That's ridiculous! I feel like I have works of art in my PC!
Otherwise, they're very good RAM modules. I hope they'll last at least three years...
These DDR5 memory sticks are ultra-fast and offer real fluidity when multitasking and running heavy apps. No worries about compatibility, simple installation and immediate performance. Everything you'd expect from modern RAM.
