We stopped by the Kingston and Hyper X suites later Friday, and on display was some new RGB RAM from the Fury line (Beast and Renegade) that reaches speeds up to DDR5-7200 (mentioned that they overclock to DDR5-8000). They also mentioned another new RAM series, named “Impact”, which we’ll see shortly. A first for Kingston is IronKey Vault Privacy 50C USB Type-C hardware encrypted USB drives. The new drives support FIPS 197 Certified & XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption along with a multi-password option or a numeric pin.
Several M.2-based storage modules were also shown, but these were designed for purpose-built machines like POS or signage (not cars currently, but coming in the future).

Eventually, he landed at Tom’s Hardware where he wrote news, covered graphic card reviews, and currently writes motherboard reviews. If you can’t find him benchmarking and gathering data, Joe can be found working on his website (Overclockers.com), supporting his two kids in athletics, hanging out with his wife catching up on Game of Thrones, watching sports (Go Browns/Guardians/Cavs/Buckeyes!), or playing PUBG on PC.
The introduction of the X79 Sandy Bridge-E platform brought along with it the ability to use more powerful quad channel memory. Today, we examine the Patriot Viper Xtreme Division 4 DDR3-1600 CL8 kit to find out whether quad channel memory truly delivers more bandwidth than its predecessors.
Today we will look at one of the latest Gigabyte motherboards with the new B650E chipset, the B650E AORUS Master. The motherboard uses an Extreme version of the chipset designed to work with PCIe 5.0 devices, so it promises it will be a great option if we are planning to build a gaming PC for a couple of years and give us a window to upgrade.
Stopping by the Gigabyte booth, we ran into several items including graphics cards and the new 4070 Ti, The Z790 Tachyon for Intel chips, the Stealth 500 DIY PC kit, M5 Gaming mouse, Aorus 15x/17X laptops and other Aero-based laptops with OLED screens designed for the creator. We also ran into their unreleased PCIe 5.0 SSD with speeds reaching up to a whopping 12,000 MB/s reads and 10,000 MB/s writes and capacity up to 4GB.
I have FURY Renegade DDR5-7200 in tests right now, so the results will probably be in a couple of days. So far, it can't make 8000MT/s, but maybe I will reach it.
This is a 7200 CL38 kit which you can find in stores already.
Result at 8266 CL38-46-46 1.55V (maybe lower will work too, but I had no time to check all combinations). It passes all benchmarks.
I finally found a better BIOS for my MSI Z790I Edge mobo. What is weird is that the last official version is from November (the same as for many other Z790 mobos). On the official BIOS, it can't even boot at 7800+. On the last beta that I found, it works at 8266. Ratios for 8400 and 8600 don't work. 8533 tries to train but can't boot.
