Well I can add the ones I have right now. Missing a few. It will be up in a hour if not sooner. Also Zentiming doesn't always correctly give the actual voltages used, so keep that in mind if that is what you are after.

Was that actually listed on the specs - or did you pull it from SPD?

That's pulled from the AIDA64 SPD readout. Do I have a typo?

Now I think about this more, I should include the specific EXPO only values as well.. hmm

Interesting to see JEDEC 5600 speeds which seem to be quite rare also have seen these kits for order at B&H(though most are back ordered or out of stock).

I've seen the 6400 CL40 ones for sale, not the lower timings ones I have reviewed here. Maybe PNY slow to release? I got this sample back in February.

JEDEC 5600 is still quite rare. Only a few kits I reviewed so far has it.

Totally agree. Seems the trend now is only to show the CAS value. We have been programmed to understand lower equal better. But I think that is not helpful for and only true if you understand what each value represents in the first place.

or if you have a dell, HP, etc. that does not have XMP, etc. profiles

I remember ddr4, listed it as 3200 and that's it (XMP very small letters) plug it in and 2133, have a nice day. Should fall under false advertising..............

Yep! One of the downsides of a pre built is the lack of memory profile support. Even my MSI laptop got me. Supports "3200", but doesn't have the option to enable XMP

Need some 3200 jedec crucial sticks. Bummer though.
