System Memory Bandwidth Performance
System Memory Bandwidth Performance
We test memory both at the default XMP profile (3200 MHz) and with overclocking of 3500 MHz.
The scores are in ~47 GB/s range, which is very good. The reviewed memory kit is rated at 3200 MHz, by using XMP in BIOS. But what if you’d want to achieve more. I’ve checked it by setting the voltage up to 1.4 Volts and then increased the frequency until I got any signs of lack of stability. For us 3500 MHz with CL17 was possible. That’s a nice result.

That’s a 48-49 GB/sec range. A 3600 MHz kit is more expensive, and you can achieve almost the same bandwidth this way, without much effort (but it depends on many variables, like motherboard, bios version or the series of used memory chip, heck even batches).
