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.
Overclocking results are in the comparison on the previous pages, so that I will focus on the most interesting result.
Patriot Viper Elite II uses new series of Hynix IC, which looks like A-die. It’s hard to check it as software can tell that and memory chips are rebranded. It doesn’t change the fact that at a quite low price, we can get RAM that overclocks up to DDR4-4800 without bigger problems. As you can see, timings are about the same as those in the XMP profile, which makes everything even easier as all we have to do is set a higher memory frequency. On Intel, it will scale well without manual voltage or ratio adjustments. Of course, when we are using good for overclocking motherboard as MSI Z590 Unify series.
On the other hand, we couldn’t set much tighter timings, even at lower frequencies. DDR4-4200 could run at CL18, DDR4-4400 could run at CL19, but everything above required CL20. Additional timings were also not much lower than that in the XMP, and the memory is not scaling so great with higher voltages. As I mentioned earlier, relaxed timings don’t matter much as the performance is still high; either we go with AMD or Intel platform.
