ADATA XPG GAMMIX D10, 32GB (2 x 16GB), DDR4, 3600MHz (PC4-28800), CL18, XMP 2.0, DIMM Memory, Low Profile

Latency Timings CL18 (18-20-20)

Will this be okay? Bought it a few weeks ago but have now done a bit of research. I am starting to think I might of made a mistake. I dont have the cpu yet so cant test it. It was cheap thou.

Not the best performing, but perfectly acceptable by most standards.

It will defiantly work fine. Would call it "good" but not "great". Value for money wise I'd be expecting to be paying around the £200 mark for it.

3600 CL 16 is the high end, 3600 CL 14 possible but requires lucky kit and very high binning.

Outside of benchmarks I doubt you would even notice a difference between 3600/18 and 3600/14

For others looking, I think this product is great for 5900x/5950x. And is on the formal supported memory list of MSI for extra assurity (my mobo...)

Crucial 2*16Gb

That is my go-to recommendation for memory nowadays (unless you must have B-die).
