This is my first test with quad channel memory on the Intel X299 chipset. It's also first 64GB review on my list. Here is Ballistix 4x16GB DDR4-3000 memory kit. It contains four 16GB memory modules packed separately but you can buy exactly the same memory in one package as single modules have the same product numbers and used IC.
Couple of photos of the memory so we know what are we testing
There is only one XMP profile which is enough and works fine on my ASUS X299 TUF Mark 2 motherboard.
Stability test in AIDA64 is enough. It covers about 95-97% of RAM so there is still a chance to make a screenshot while it works
There is no software which can read what memory IC is under the heatsinks and I'm not really going to remove the heatsinks but scalling and results on other 16GB modules suggest there are Samsung B chips ( also can see some through holes in the heatsinks ).
This is how my motherboard sees the memory:
