    Be careful buying this. It crashed my PC. It worked a little and after that pc would not boot again. Had to restore my pc twice. Learned my lesson. Also the SPD Speed is 2133mhz. It has to be boosted to get to 3200mhz.

    Not a quality product

    The build quality and packaging alone should have been enough to warn me this was not a good purchase. As soon as I installed in my system I immediately noticed odd behavior, glitchy screens, freezing and other odd behavior. I had to crank up the voltage to make sure it would work at least halfway decent. Forget about trying to overclock your system, I had my system humming along at 4 ghz with Corsair memory. Ran countless hours of stability tests with no issues. Not the case with this memory, as soon as I popped it in I had nothing but issues. I am planning on returning this memory and exchanging it for Corsair kit. Its worth to pay a little more for a quality product.

    Would be 3 stars but I’ve had one out of 4 fail and PNY don’t respond or seem to care about warranty claims. Never heard back after repeated emails, receipts and pics.

    Purchased this kit for a friend's build. I felt like this was a pretty cut-rate kit when I noticed the red accents on the heat spreaders we're precariously placed over the metal case and would just pop right off. But I decided to let the electronics speak for the product and plugged it in anyways. Just outside of 14 days the RAM died leaving me with the unfortunate cost of purchasing a new kit. I won't be buying this kit again.

    Memory is probably fine, but these memory chips would not fit in my PC because of the HUGE heatsinks that almost double the height. Had to return and find something smaller.

    I couldn't get my new build to boot with these RAM stick. I bought two packages of these, 16GB in each package. Once I couldn't boot with the first set, I removed the first set, opened the package for the second set and still couldn't boot. Then I installed a different brand I had lying around and the PC booted with no issues.

    Memory sticks did not post in my MSI b550 gaming plus motherboard that was also sold by best buy. MSI manufacturer Compatability list shows that the XRG model works but the Best Buy models are actually AXR.

    Maybe it's a fluke. But both RAM modules were defective and caused a lot of errors on my PC. I will be returning these ASAP. They did work just fine for a little while but within about a week or two I started experiencing BSOD all the time, a memory diagnostic found errors in the memory indicating these are faulty.

    This RAM is horrible! It has severe stability problems when you try to run it at the XMP speeds. I could only get these sticks stable at the very slow base 2166mhz. Avoid this RAM.

    Not sure if the brand or the store - one chip was bad which is amazing to see these days for any decently priced item.

    Couldnt get 3200mhz on Ryzen 5000 build

    They didn't work on the Ryzen 5000 build that I was working on. I couldn't get the advertised speed of 3200mhz at 1.35 V. The fastest I could set them to was 3066mhz at 1.35V. I found that they were not on AMDs list of compatible RAM for Ryzen 3000 and above. So I returned them for Corsair Vengence since they were on sale for the same price. The Corsairs are on AMDs list, so hopefully these will work out.

    Was tricked into buying so they didn't have to send in my 3 month old better ram that seems to have stopped working when they were fixing the bios. Don't buy through bestbuy.

    Purchased 4, 8GB sticks 3200mhz. I went to enable XMP and my pc crashed giving memory error codes. I had to manually set the memory speed and it wouldn't go above 3066mhz without crashing. Returned and bought Corsair Vengeance LPX and it worked fine in XMP.

    This memory didn't last long at all. I purchased this set to complete my pc and within ten minutes of running my system, one of the memory modules failed. I was able to keep the other stick managing to run, but I have no response from the broken stick. Spend your money elsewhere.

    I installed four of these in November of 2021 and now I'm down to only two in May of 2022. I should have invested the money into a better brand instead of trying to cut corners. Do yourself a favor and not purchase these.
