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.
As I mentioned earlier, the tested Zenith memory kit is using Hynix IC. Hynix is known to scale quite well with voltages, which we can see in our tests. To reach DDR4-4200 CL17, we had to set 1.45V. To reach DDR4-4600 CL18, 1.55V was required. The DDR4-4800 CL19 was possible at 1.65V. It already looks scary for many users. On the other hand, many brands are selling Hynix-based DDR4-4800+ memory kits at 1.60V. I understand that running so high voltages can be uncomfortable, and of course, you have to realize that it may damage the RAM and won’t be covered by a warranty.
Nothing that I said before changes the fact that the overclocking results are impressive, and it’s even more amazing because of the dual-rank design. If we are using the Intel platform, then we can count on high bandwidth and low latency at the same time. On AMD, results were not so impressive, but DDR4-4400 is highly respectable and more than satisfying for most users.
High performance at XMP settings and high overclocking headroom are what I like to see in every memory kit. I bet that you agree with me, especially when also the price is low.
