Highlights
Quality
Skill generally makes nice ram, and this kit was simple to install and runs well.
Its been working great, for any first time builders make sure to set it up properly in your bios so its reading at its advertised speed
Turning it on lead to the inability to boot into bios and essentially made restarting worthless as it would just black screen.
I purchased this product and when i installed it the stability problems got worse.
Price
Gaming seems great, this ram was a good price at the time.
Always choose non-rgb versions of memory for the lower cost and basic color scheme like the original g.
Its pretty good for the price, especially if you get the bundle from microcenter.

Shipping
Ordered another set, (props to amazon for sending out a new one very quickly) and ever since installing the new kit, zero issues.
Competitiveness
Pairs well with an amd ryzen 7 7700x am5 processor, asus prime b650-plus amd am5 motherboard, and a samsung 990 pro 1tb pcie 4.
Msi, asus and gigabyte have some growing pains on am5.

The only problem is you will 100 have to update your bios and maybe even manually increase your mhz because the expo sucks

The computer bios will use a generic speed less than what the ram is capable of if you dont manually change it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If the product is not reaching correct speed run expo on motherboard and give it 15 mins to boot up

If it doesn’t boot take out cmos battery for 30 seconds and then try to run expo in ryzen master

If it doesn’t work still make sure your cpu is compatible with it

No graphics card is required for the 7000 x series processors unless you need gaming performance
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Note that the motherboard assigns a portion of ram to the graphics functionality so windows may report that 32 gb is loaded but only 31gb is useable ram
