The tested memory kit has two XMP profiles, the same as most HyperX memory kits. If we have any problem running the memory at a higher speed, we can use a lower option. This option is also good for all those who purchased faster memory than their motherboards can handle.
Below are listed SPD and XMP profiles of the HyperX Predator RGB DDR4-4600:
- Default (JEDEC): DDR4-2400 CL17-17-17 @1.2V
- XMP Profile #1: DDR4-4600 CL19-26-26 @1.50V
- XMP Profile #2: DDR4-4000 CL19-23-23 @1.35V
Our memory kit is based on the Hynix DJR series IC. This IC is very popular in the top frequency memory kits, and most new memory kits rated at DDR4-4600+ are using it. If we check the QVL of the latest Intel Z590 motherboards, then we will see that almost only Hynix DJR memory kits are listed at DDR4-4600 or higher speed. HyperX released some new top memory kits with the highest binned IC that can run up to DDR4-5333. I assume they are using the same IC but are well-tested for the higher frequencies. These memory kits are not available in stores yet, while the DDR4-4600 is widely available, and recently its price is going down.
Let’s back to the tested memory kit. Below is a screenshot showing stability at the XMP #1 profile. Since the XMP#2 profile is not much different but the lower frequency, we see no point in running additional stability tests.
The memory kit has fully stable but a bit too relaxed sub-timings. I bet that overclockers will have a lot of fun with this kit as many options can be adjusted and additionally improved. On the other hand, we have to understand that not every motherboard can handle very tight timings while HyperX is designing products for all users, more and less advanced and those with high-end hardware and those with pretty average PC who are searching for a way to improve the performance.
We will take a closer look at the package and the memory kit itself on the next page.
