We will be outlining the memory kit's performance with the Intel Core i9-12900K CPU, ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WiFi D4 motherboard, and a Gigabyte RTX 3080 Eagle OC graphics card. The processor is maintained at its stock frequency.

For comparison, we have some single-rank 32GB memory from Corsair, a 16GB set from Thermaltake, and a 3200MHz kit from PNY.
