Overclocking
Disclaimer: Overclocking is never guaranteed, so the results may vary depending on certain conditions and hardware configurations. I do not recommend overclocking if you do not know what you are doing. High voltages may damage hardware, and the warranty will not cover it.
The XFinity 8400MT/s is another V-Color memory kit well-designed for overclocking. It’s equipped with the best overclocking Hynix M-die IC and Richtek PMIC, so there is no better combo on the market if we wish to go for the highest frequencies. On the other hand, the memory controller severely limits us, so our results are barely better than the XMP profile.
We could still set 8600MT/s at tighter timings, but it wasn’t entirely stable. Hopefully, the upcoming Arrow Lake processors will be more predictable and overclock much higher, as Raptor Lake is very random, and we never know what we will get. The overclocking result was made on the i9 14900K processor, which is slightly better than the i7 14700K used in the comparison but still offers the same maximum RAM frequency.
The V-Color XFinity 8400MT/s kit can bring a lot of fun and produce great overclocking results if we have a proper test rig. Even if we can’t pass the XMP frequency, the memory has a wide range of possible timings and additional settings, making it a well-performing option even at lower clocks.
