Spotted this on pcpartpicker. Usual MSRP is $359. Seemed like a decent 32GB kit with fast speeds and tight timings.
Do note that if you are using Zen 4 that speeds past 6000mhz can be unstable.

In saying that, will I not be able to reach advertised speed and timing with XMP 3.0? ( If M-die)
XMP is just a profile saved into the memory. So if the manufacturer sets it to for example 6000/CL36 you will only get 6000/CL36 when you enable XMP. If your memory can do more but the manufacturer did not set it in the profile (because why would they, they can sell it for more money if they push the profile higher) the only way to really get the maximum out of the memory is to set it in your BIOS manually (and thus ignore the timings that come in the XMP profile). Hence why for manual tweakers the whole XMP/EXPO thing is not worth much. But you do not feel like doing things manually then XMP/EXPO profiles are definitely the way to go otherwise you will be running your expensive 7600/CL32 memory at 4800MHz as that is the JEDEC default every memory starts with.
but the manufacturer did not set it in the profile (because why would they, they can sell it for more money if they push the profile higher)
Takes extra time to test, they can't move high volumes of expensive ram, doesn't pass their standards for stability etc.
@JerraJones: Fair call. Yes, there are other arguments for why the profiles are not maxxed out in general. But it is currently well known that most M-die and A-die DDR5 is sold under spec and that nearly all of them can be clocked way higher/timed lower than what they are sold for as nearly all those chips have the same achiveable ceiling.
So my point is perhaps not generic but applies well to current DDR5 market.
According to some Italian reviewer on Amazon they could be SK Hynix A-Die but it could be a big lottery as they could still be M-die as well. So not a bad price if you get the A-Die but if you get an M-Die then this is still a better deal if you don't mind setting the timings and frequency yourself in the BIOS: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/qs92FT/kingston-fury-bea…
