Overclocking
Overclocking is never guaranteed so the presented results may vary from results on other memory kits. I am not recommending overclocking if you do not know what are you doing. High voltages may damage hardware and it will not be covered by warranty.
I won’t hide that I was expecting a bit different overclocking results. Team Vulcan T-Force is based on new Hynix SK memory IC which is clearly overclocking higher than older series but doesn’t like tight timings.
I was able to set pretty stable DDR4-3000 CL15-17-17 at default 1.35V. Also at the same voltage was possible 3200 16-18-18 what can be considered as good result. DDR4-3333 already required slightly more relaxed timings of 17-18-18 and voltage of 1.40V ( still within specification ). Anything above DDR4-3333 wasn’t fully stable even though I could reach DDR4-3600 CL18-19-19-42 at 1.45V. AIDA64 is showing higher voltage but this result is available on the below screenshot.
Considering that our memory kit is designed to work at DDR4-3000 16-18-18 and 1.35-1.40V then any of mentioned results is good and if we see that maximum is DDR4-3600 then it’s even great. I assume that DDR4-3466 or even higher is possible to stabilize but at higher voltage and maybe also other motherboard. Our tests were performed on ASRock Z170 OC Formula which is great for overclocking but isn’t the best for new Hynix SK IC. Probably new BIOS/UEFI will improve resuls which as I said, aren’t bad.
There is a chance that our readers will have more luck and will be able to set Team Group Vulcan T-Force even higher as it clearly has high overclocking potential.
