The modules are delivered with these profiles:
XMP Profile # 1: DDR4-3000 @ 1.35V CL15-16-16
XMP Profile # 2: @ 1.35V DDR4-2666 CL14-14-14
So YES it is expensive compared to what BUT .... if you look at the range of entries DDR4 can find KITS 200 for the 4x4Go but it is far from 3000MHz, 2133MHz only one is.
If we start looking at the KITS to 3000MHz and it is clear that we are dealing with the best value except G.Skill Ripjaws 4 Series that are a little cheaper and with better hair CAS.
But if you look above you will see that for frequencies above 3300MHz can reach 700 or 800 still to 16GB. So finally it's not so expensive. And compared to euro left between the X99 motherboard and proc ......
So for me this series is a great product, the strips heat only very few (thank you the sink but not only, thank you to 1.35V only)
In short I highly recommend these modules to those spirited to equip with the latest computer technology unless the height of the modules is a problem.
I have not taken by against time, because also this is not my thing, make overclocking tests. I leave this to the specialized press and the hardcore gamers in search of the highest performance.
