FEATURED ADATA 4x4GB DDR4-2133 CL15 - AD4U2133W4G15-B

Today I have one more DDR4 kit, this time from ADATA. Memory tested in this thread is from standard series - without heatsinks. Product number of my kit is AD4U2133W4G15-B. It's more like a single stick product number but the same you can find in kits.









I guess I have too much luck to Hynix IC as this is 5th in a row Hynix based DDR4 kit which I'm testing.

As a standard memory, there is no XMP profile and we can use only auto/SPD settings of 2133 15-15-15-36 2N 1.20V. Actually similar SPD has any other DDR4 and we could see it also in previously tested Crucial kit.

Just a short note. All tests were performed on i7 5820K CPU and ASUS Rampage V Extreme motherboard. CPU clock is 4.2GHz and cache clock is 3.7GHz for all tests. 3.7GHz cache is about max stable on non-ASUS boards. I set it to this value to better show memory bandwidth differences for each setting. It's also enthusiast platform and most users will for sure overclock it ( not to mention we are on Overclockers.com ).




Tests made on SPD settings are below.

Overclocking results

2133 12-12-12-25 1N 1.20V




2400 13-13-13-25 1N 1.20V




2666 14-14-14-25 1N 1.25V




3000 15-16-16-25 1N 1.35V




Max clock 3200 16-17-17-32 1N 1.35V but I couldn't make it run stable or even pass HyperPi 32M. Higher voltage is required to stabilize it but anything above ~1.37V couldn't boot at 3200.

Just curious what the pricing is like compared to a 2666-3000 set. If there's a cost savings it might make this set pretty attractive.

All depends from store but usually not much cheaper than 2400-2666 kits. 2800-3000 cost some more. I can't find stores for good comparison as all have or 2x8GB kits or no higher clocked kits.

Impressive for 2133 sticks, thanks for sharing Woomack
