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.
Overclocking results are in the comparison on the previous pages, so that I will focus on the most interesting result.
Patriot Viper Elite II uses new series of Hynix IC, probably A-die. Memory chips are rebranded, and diagnostic software has problems reading them. Still, we had a chance to overclock other memory kits acting about the same and scaling with voltages in the same way.
我们可以达到ddr4 - 4600 CL19也许不是一个低voltage of 1.6V, but still safe if we keep good airflow in the PC. For daily work and gaming, I recommend DDR4-4400, which was possible at 1.5V but could run at tighter timings and should be possible to set on cheaper motherboards.
DDR4-4600 using a dual-rank memory kit wasn’t possible some months ago, so it’s clearly impressive. It’s even more impressive when we look at the price of the Viper Elite II memory and compare it to the highest available dual-rank kits on the market, which are available at DDR4-4600 but cost nearly three times as much. Of course, overclocking isn’t guaranteed, so we never know what we can get. On the other hand, our memory kit was in a retail package and wasn’t any cherry-picked sample, so that we can count that in the stores; we will find something similar, if not better.
