The DIMM kit we received is 16GB in total, it a CL16 kit. Each DIMM is 8GB a piece and thus single, dual and quad channel compatible. If you'd like to see it under the product name then search for BLE8G4D36BEEAK(8GB x2). You should be able to find it at give or take 110 EURO and, in the USA, $119.
Here we have the DIMMs after unpacking. Great design, cool that the PCB is black as most motherboards have a black PCB as well these days. Intel XMP version 2.0 is of course supported. Keep in mind that you have color options.
As you might have noticed from that sticker, this kit can manage latencies of 16-18-18-38 at 1.35 Volts, and that is an okay latency for this memory alright. For optimal stability, we do recommend you stick to the manufacturer's suggested settings at default SPD or XMP 2.0 profile which you can easily enable in the motherboard BIOS.
We like the black PCB and the matching heat-spreader, styling wise (hey it matters in a high-end cool looking rig) this is a very tasteful kit as well as aesthetically wise. With expensive memory often comes some extras, Ballistix offers a limited lifetime warranty with these memory modules, you can't beat that.
Though a bit overkill for most of us, 32GB is preferred, but 16GB with two DIMMs does kinda rock plenty for a proper gaming rig. These days in a PC we recommend 8GB as default minimum, 16GB for a little extra in your spicy gaming rig and 32GB for the ones that use memory intensive applications / do memory intensive transcoding and/or content creation.
