If you are a mainstream user and do not care for RGB lighting effects, Silicon Power has a solid solution with their XPOWER Turbine kits, that also feature Samsung ICs. Despite the XMP rating of 2666MHz C16 of our kit, it still has some overclocking potential, if you take your time and do proper testing. The module heatspreaders height is quite low at about 38.2mm, so it should be no issue when installing large air coolers as well.

The pre-programmed timings and frequencies can be also found by using AIDA64; the DRAM manufacturer is listed as SpecTek:
From the stock DDR4-2666 16-18-18-38 specs, we tried a bit of overclocking as well: by setting a voltage of 1.35, we have managed to climb the frequency up to 3100MHz and adjusted the timings to 19-21-21-44 in order to be Memtest stable:
Starting with the JEDEC 2133MHz, we did benchmark the RAM step-by-step up to its stock 2666MHz frequency, in order for you to spot the performance differences. We did also benchmark at the maximum stable frequency of 3100, but because of the increased CAS latencies, only some applications took advantage of the increased bandwidth.
