Overclocking
Disclaimer: Overclocking is never guaranteed, so that the results may vary depending on certain conditions and various hardware configurations. I am not recommending overclocking if you do not know what you are doing. High voltages may damage hardware, and the warranty will not cover it.
Samsung B is probably the most popular DDR4 IC, and all who are into overclocking know it. However, not so popular are dual-rank memory kits because of their higher price and not always higher performance. Times are changing and each year we need more RAM, so a 32GB kit seems optimal nowadays even for gamers.
The Vesta memory seems like the best option to combine still reasonable price with high performance and high overclocking potential. Our memory kit could run at low latency up to DDR4-4266, but DDR4-3733 at Gear 1 can be better for some games and better for the AMD platform. The CL13 at DDR4-3733 wasn’t a problem. However, Command Rate 1N/T couldn’t run at Gear 1. Surprisingly, we were able to set Command Rate 1N/T at DDR4-4266 (set at Real 1T/N in BIOS).
The maximum frequency that we could achieve was 2133MHz or DDR4-4266 at exceptional timings of CL14-14-14. We had to use 1.60V but it’s still in the safe range. To keep it stable we had to use an additional fan blowing directly onto RAM.
DDR4-4266 CL14-14-14 is close to the best settings possible, even for competitive benchmarking.
A wide range of settings and high performance make Predator Vesta perfect for gamers, enthusiasts, and overclockers. If you search for an exceptional DDR4 memory kit then this is one of the best options around.
