Does the memory controller require special settings to hit those speeds? I guess it needs incresed voltage, but that's not the DRAM supplier business so they don't mention it?
It would also be good to know what happens if you want to use 4 of them. Spec wise there would have to be a substantial frequency drop. Can the 4x kit avoid that, or would it depend on getting a very good memory controller with massive OC settings?
Terrible frequencies, terrible timings, probably terribly price too. Those were mainstream specs 2 years ago. And 3 years ago I bought 3200 CL15 and managed them to OC to 3400, trolololo.
OK, maybe you add a little latency, but intuitively, I would take the significantly higher clock of 3466, due to the added benefit of bumping the Fabric clock too. It may not show up in benchmarks yet, but Fabric is the very foundation of ryzen. A higher bandwidth Fabric sure cant hurt

Those DDR4-3200 CL14 from Team Group look awesome. I'd like to see some benchmarks vs your run-of-the-mill ram.GreenMeters - Friday, May 25, 2018 - link
Anyone going to offer some validated 2x16GB CL14?Alistair - Friday, May 25, 2018 - link
No but you can get 4 x 8gb. Already better memory than the new ones in that list above.https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

More sticks = lower clock ceiling.MrSpadge - Friday, May 25, 2018 - link

Yep. 3600 CL18 is bottom of the barrel. Best 3600 comes in CL15 and most in CL16 or CL17 for 16GB sticks. So 2x8GB 3600 CL18 is not even noteworthy.msroadkill612 - Saturday, May 26, 2018 - link

im running corsair LPX 3000 CL15 on my system. works just fine out the box.
