Overclocking
Disclaimer: Overclocking is never guaranteed, so that the results may vary depending on certain conditions and 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.
The Predator HERA uses Hynix A-die IC. Right now, nothing is better for overclocking in 16GB modules.
As long as we have a series motherboard and a processor with a good memory controller, we can count on at least 8400-8600MT/s. 8400MT/s is also the highest option for the HERA memory series available in stores. Soon also CUDIMM modules should be available, so we will see even higher frequencies.
On the test platform, there was no problem with overheating, even at ~1.52V, which was required to stabilize the 8600MT/s settings. We could go up to 8600MT/s, providing good airflow. If you have a spacious PC case with forced airflow, it should be enough to keep it stable at 1.5V.
The Predator HERA is well-designed. Most competitive memory kits end at about 8200MT/s or 8400MT/s. It’s also one of the few that gives us an EXPO profile at 8000MT/s.
Even though the Predator HERA doesn’t need overclocking to deliver high performance, nothing stands on our way to improve it.
