Team Group Dark Pro "8 Pack Edition" 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black

Try disabling XMP and manually specifying the main timings to 14-14-14-31, set the voltage to 1.35v and the multiplier value so it gives you 1600mhz (- or + a few mhz).

If it will not POST or it does POST but Memtest86 testing gives you errors try giving it a bit more voltage, say v1.375 (anything upto v1.40 should be perfectly safe).
Failing that you can either knock the frequency down a notch to say 1550mhz -or- loosen the timings off to something like 15-15-15-32 and re-test.

But this RAM should have no problem hitting it's default OC rating and far beyond that with some tweaking.

I can boot but it wasn't stable. I just gave it a little more voltage 1.36 and upped vccio/sa to 1.2v. Seems stable so far on XMP.

edit: Purchased Karhu ram tester. Just upping DRAM voltage seems key for me. 1.37v at the moment and returned vccio/sa back to default.

edit: nah I can't get these to pass long tests at all.

I'm probably going to stick with this for my x570 rebuild. I eventually managed to get 3200 c14 with this kit with a 1700 and x370 Taichi, but I think that was mostly Asrock's terrible bios support. Any tips on hitting higher clocks? I'm aiming for around 3466 so would 16/16/16/36 be a good starting point?

Use the dram calc on safe settings and go from there.

Try 3333mhz first on loose then tighter settings. Don't just run benchmarks either, so those first then play some games for a few hours.

Thanks! I'm figuring it's worth seeing what I can squeeze out of these before I look for anything faster.

Well according to the blurb on them they will do 4500mhz, but that's only on insanely expensive intel motherboards and only if you hit the silicon lottery and get a chip with a great IMC. Best I've had out of my 2700x is 3666mhz, but it was faster in games with 3466 CL14 which for me is the sweet spot.

So c14 might be doable? That's good to know.

It's certainly possible. My 2700x doesn't do an all core OC very well, but the IMC seems pretty strong on it. Compared to XMP settings it runs a load quicker with the RAM at this speed. With discord, steam etc etc all running I get a respectable 1878 in CB R15, RAM at XMP it's 1787. It's made a big jump in fps on pubg!

adrichardson81 · 28 May 2019 at 17:21

LOL that'll definitely keep me out of trouble ck it a whole then. I'll nail down my cpu oc and see where I end up.

KungFuSpaghetti · 28 May 2019 at 17:38

Good luck, it takes some messing and make sure you enter all the values on the other pages too!

algida79 · 29 May 2019 at 15:58

Very happy with my results oc-ing this kit on AM4; 3533MHz @ 14-14-15-14-28-42-252, 1.415V Vdimm, 0.975V Vsoc, R5 2600, ASUS Prime X470-Pro. Stability-tested with 2000% HCI MemTest and 12h Prime95 Large FFTs.

At XMP settings, it was stable at quite low voltages, something like 1.315V Vdimm, 0.91V Vsoc. But I wasn't too keen on staying at XMP for very long.

This specific ram worth getting for a new 3x00x build?

Thinking of buying now to spread my payments

beany_bot · 6 Jun 2019 at 08:32

@8 Pack I Just bought https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...4000mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-my-098-tg.html

For Zen 2 (3800x or 3900x).

Should I,

Run it as it is?
Overclock it faster with looser timings?
Or underclock it slower and tighten the timings?
Something else

Thanks in advance.

I would pay a bit more and get the faster stuff, you can always drop the speed and tighten the timing if you can't hit the rated speed with it.

Edit: unless you need the lower height stuff.

Thanks. Actually says ideal for 3rd gen ryzen.

ubiquity · 8 Jun 2019 at 13:01

That seems like exceptional value. Would be really interested in a 2x16gb kit, but the 32gb kit is 4 x 8 and rather more expensive!

H3RBSKI · 9 Jun 2019 at 12:31

i have purchased this ram to go along with my 2600x on a asus prim x470 pro mobo, just wondering if anybody has the same mobo and what overclock they have managed to achieve on this ram? i currently have it set to 3200mhz without touching timing or voltage so was wondering if anyone has any settings i could try as a base line?

opethdisciple · 10 Jun 2019 at 15:49

Bad idea to buy anything until the new CPU/Mobo are released and you know the lay of the land.

algida79 · 10 Jun 2019 at 15:58

Hi @H3RBSKI, same mobo here with an R5 2600, check post #811. The kit can do 3600MHz with those same timings but needed 1.445V and I am not comfortable running this 24/7 without RAM cooling.

Let me know if you need more details. I can provide an RTC screenshot and BIOS saved profile if you'd like.

3200mhz is not obtainable for me either, i've tried voltage all the way to 1.45v with loose timings, it posts but instantly gives errors in memtest, dial it down to 3000mhz however and it will rock 13 13 13 13 34 42 all day long, it perplexes me greatly
Would this be the cpu's IMC causing this or the motherboard somehow (see sig)
