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 was tested on ASUS and MSI motherboards with B550 and X570 chipsets. On all motherboards, results were similar and clearly limited by used memory IC.
The maximum memory clock with four memory modules was DDR4-3800 at quite reasonable timings of 18-22-20 and 1.40V. It gives us nearly 6ns lower latency and up to 4GB/s higher memory bandwidth. This is already a good setting for a 64GB memory kit. It doesn’t change that we have seen better results, even on previously reviewed Patriot memory series like Viper Blackout or Steel. Some users can be confused as the Steel series without RGB lighting is right now faster than the RGB version. In all cases, Patriot memory is well-priced, so it should be popular regardless of memory settings.
