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).
Joe started writing around 2010 for Overclockers.com covering the latest news and reviews that include video cards, motherboards, storage and processors. In 2018, he went ‘pro’ writing for Anandtech.com covering news and motherboards. 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.
Today we will be looking at one of the latest RAM offerings, the Viper Xtreme series from Patriot’s EP (Etreme Performance) line. This 12GB (3x4Gb) triple channel kit “is the ultimate performance memory solution for the Intel X58 platform” according to Patriot. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype.
I was pretty surprised when I received the info that EVGA is offering a DDR4 memory kit for review. Somehow I missed the fact that EVGA had entered the DRAM market some time ago and has already presented DDR3 and
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.
