Initial Setup

If your board supports the speeds these sticks have on offer, you are sure going to be happy with these sticks. Getting them up and running was easy, and the white tops look great paired with RGB fans or a white motherboard.

The simplicity in looks these sticks have on offer means they match almost any system well, their large heatsink fins ready to grab airflow that passes over them.

It was no problem running these sticks with my Intel i5-8400 and ASUS test board with the default Turbo profile applied. Once again, nearly having RAM and CPU speeds match is just awesome.

Thaiphoon shows these sticks to have Samsung IC in them, as if there was any question. That's the only IC that seems to be this capable, and those default timings can easily be tuned tighter with these sticks, which is as you would expect, of course.
