TL;DR
Not much to say about this RAM because it works exactly as expected.
I downsized from an ATX sized build to a Mini-ITX one. I wanted to retain the 32GB of RAM I had so I needed two, 16GB sticks and these fit the bill. I also needed to make sure they were low profile enough to not interfere with my CPU cooler (be quiet! Shadow Rock LP). I was previously running Team Group memory (Team Group DARK DDR4 Gaming Desktop Memory, 4x8GB) without issue so I had no qualms going with this brand again.
One other thing to note, the MFG for my Motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z270N-Gaming 5) didn't have this RAM listed on their QVL, BUT Team Group actually has their own QVL for motherboards as well. This was great because I was initially concerned it wasn't going to be "fully supported/tested" due to Gigabyte's QVL but my did end up being listed on Team Group's QVL for this RAM which put my mind at ease. The motherboard or RAM MFG QVL isn't the "be-all and end-all" but it's definitely reassuring to see that it was tested and determined to be 100% compatible.
