Does Anyone Know About This Memory?

I am getting a Ryzen build soon and I need some cheap DDR4 RAM and saw this: GeIL EVO SPEAR AMD Edition

Is this RAM any good?

Also saw another series called potenza by the same company

Geil memory is usually ok, ive used a few sets in the past but never seen this particular one.

 

2400Mhz is a little slow for AMD Ryzen as the Ryzen chips rely on faster ram.

What's your budget? Does look matter?

For a extra $5 ($75), you can get RGB RAM with either black or white heatsinks: https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16820331033?ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker%2c+LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3938566

I don't really care about looks (This is going in a sleeper PC build) and I think I am going to either go with the Geil RAM or T-Force Vulcan
