G.Skill Flare X (for AMD) DDR4 2x8Gb F4-2133C15D-16GFX
 | Outdated Product A dual-channel set of DDR4-2133 RAM modules with a total capacity of 16 GB. This amount of memory is enough for high-performance general purpose personal computers, gaming systems, and even entry-level and mid-level workstations. The manufacturer positions the kit as a quality mid-range product and guarantees stable dual-channel operation in systems based on the AMD Ryzen platform. Proper operation on the Intel Core platform (6-8 generations) is also possible, but thorough compatibility testing and entries in the Qualified Vendors List (QVL) of motherboards were performed only for motherboards based on AMD A320, B350, X370 and X399 chipsets. The nominal effective frequency for the set of G.Skill Flare X (for AMD) DDR4 memory modules [F4-2133C15D-16GFX] is 2133 MHz with CL15-15-15-35 timing...s and a standard supply voltage of 1.2 V. The maximum bandwidth of each module is an impressive 17 Gbps. Systems with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper processor can use paired kits in high-performance 4-channel mode. The low standard supply voltage ensures low heat dissipation of the modules, and the presence of efficient plate heatsinks allows them to be significantly overclocked when the supply voltage increases to 1.35 V. |

Model overview based on user reviews
The G.Skill Flare X (for AMD) DDR4 2x8Gb RAM is generally well-received for its affordable price, stylish design, and compatibility with AMD platforms. Users appreciate its high frequency capabilities, especially when the XMP profile is enabled, reaching up to 3200 MHz. However, some concerns are raised about the heatsink not fully pressing against the memory chips, which may affect heat dissipation and overclocking potential. While some users experienced stability issues and recommend considering alternatives like Crucial or Kingston, others successfully achieved overclocking up to 3533 MHz with Samsung B-Die chips, highlighting its potential for enthusiasts. The product is praised for its performance without unnecessary RGB features, though the price can be a point of contention depending on the market. Overall, it is considered a solid choice for AMD systems with a balance of performance and aesthetics.

Gorgeous memory!!! On the ASUS TUF B450-PRO GAMING board with Ryzen 5 1600, I took 3533Mhz (this is the maximum for the 1st generation of Ryzen) at stock delays of cl14 and a voltage of 1.38v. Chips naturally Samsung B-Die + stylish appearance and as a result - it's just a great choice for the platform from AMD!!! On the ASUS TUF B450-PRO GAMING board with Ryzen 5 1600, I took 3533Mhz (this is the maximum for the 1st generation of Ryzen) at stock delays of cl14 and a voltage of 1.38v. Chips of course Samsung B-Die + stylish appearance and as a result - it's just a great choice for the platform from AMD!!! Inadequate price from our hucksters! I grabbed it for 3k hryvnia... but now the cost has broken through the stratosphere! On newegg, the stock price is $95 and it brings tears to my eyes... |
I purchased it for Ryzen 5 3600 and the MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MAX motherboard. Upon startup, the XMP profile didn't load, and the frequency was around 2100 MHz; after enabling the XMP profile, the frequency was as stated, 3200 MHz. As for drawbacks: looking from the side against the light, I noticed that the heatsink doesn't fully press against the memory chips, so overclocking is done at your own risk, as the heat transfer to the heatsink is poor. In operation, the modules are barely warm (I'm not sure if this is good or bad, as the heatsink is not properly pressed, meaning it doesn't dissipate heat as it should). Price, timings, design, frequency The heatsink is pressed against the chip almost only at the edge  Sergey: |
It’s better to buy a larger expensive Crusial or Kingston, or for that matter Radiator Does not accelerate at all, Barely holds its timings and does not work very stably, May fall off spontaneously Maksym Vasylyshyn: use G.Skill F4-3200C16D-16GFX more than year |
