Overclocking
Disclaimer: Overclocking is never guaranteed, so the results may vary depending on certain conditions and various hardware configurations. I am not recommending overclocking if you do not know what are you doing. High voltages may damage hardware, and it will not be covered by warranty.
The Predator is based on a Samsung B-die memory so it’s about the best we can find in DDR4 memory kits and gives us hope on high overclocking potential.
Below are some of our results. There is still some space for timing tweaking so don’t take as the maximum of this memory kit.
Starting with DDR4-4266 CL18-18-18 1.40V.
DDR4-4500 CL19-19-19 1.40V.
DDR4-4600 CL19-19-19 1.45V.
DDR4-4600 is about maximum for our processor’s memory controller on ambient temperature (typical air or water cooling) and reasonable voltages. Looking at how this memory is scaling, I assume it shouldn’t be an issue to pass DDR4-4800 … as long as memory controller can handle that.
Overclocking potential of HyperX Predator is for sure high, and it’s easier to overclock than some competitive and more expensive memory kits.
