Notes
We have tested from the ground-up using a fresh, up-to-date Windows build and the latest BIOS on the MSI X470 motherboard. As mentioned, the performance benefits of faster RAM can be evaluated by comparing this set to a 3,600MHz pack of the same capacity, represented by G.Skill.

We have changed the methodology and choose three selected latencies and see just how fast the modules can run before failure. It's good to see scaling goes up to 3,600MHz at reasonable timings.
