Conclusion
| General | |||
| Overall this memory kit from Kingston is just great. It's just a pity it's not yet available. We were absolutely impressed by the overclockability of this 32 GB Kit. In fact this 32 GB kit runs better then lots of 16 GB kits out there, which is definitely an achievement in our opinion. We've been able to run low voltages easily with different latency settings and the kit passed the HyperPi stability test several times without any error at exceptionally high frequencies. When overclocking these Predator modules, we run SuperPi 32m at DDR4-3'257 at 1.65 volt and we reached 3'420 MHz using Liquid nitrogen as coolant with the same voltage. |

- Compatibility with big coolers | |
| Scaling | |||
| The only latency set with which we've noticed linear scaling was CL14. If we look at CL12, CL13, CL15 as well as CL16 we always see a degression when setting 1.5 volt. This means, that at 1.5 Volt you can drive these sticks close to their maximum frequency. | - Scaling with all CAS latencies | ||
| Overclocking | |||
| Using the Rampage V Extreme and our specific memory testing CPU, which has a good IMC, reaching over 3.2GHz on the memory was actually easy. Unfortunately the journey stops quite soon at 3'260 MHz and in this case we have to feed these sticks with 1.65 volt. Unfortunately in this context means that since it was so easy to hit 3.2 GHz we were hoping for something like 3.3 GHz in the end with a little more voltage. But nevertheless 3'260 MHz is an impressive result in the case of a 32GB kit. |
- 3.2+ GHz - 3.1+ GHz @ CL14 |
||
| Recommendation / Price | |||
| Searching for prices we can't finde this kit listed just yet. But since this is a high-end 32GB DDR4 memory kit, we really don't expect this kit to be a bargain. Should you be looking for a 32GB DDR4 memory kit which features with excellent overclocking potential, then you might really want to wait until this particular kit becomes available. |
