CONCLUSION
Right from the get go the lack of any kind of heatspreaders means that we’re talking about an RAM kit aimed towards people who place system stability over overclocking. Now I can’t comment on the why the XMP profile of the ZEUS kit failed to work on the EVGA Z390 DARK (incompatibilities are always possible) but that also could mean that me being able to push the kit up to 3600MHz might not be the end of the line for other motherboards (3800MHz could be doable). That aside however the ZEUS kit did produce good numbers overall, not the best (not even close) in the charts but relatively good (especially considering the lack of heatspreaders). On top of that add the lifetime warranty and the ZEUS kits should appeal to consumers.
With a current price tag set at around USD90 inside the USA and at 108Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) the ZEUS 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL20 kit is priced just about right. Unfortunately, availability right now is far from good and on top of that you should be able to find similar kits (specs-wise) but with heatspreaders on them. Still if overclocking is not your thing and the lifetime warranty sounds sweet you should really give a chance to the ZEUS kits by Team Group.
