T-FORCE XTREEM ARGB DDR4 - Some timings and results

[Brizzles]

Purchased this kit ;
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...8-4000mhz-dual-channel-kit-rgb-my-0ad-tg.html

I was intrigued by the ARGB so had to try it for myself, it doesn't disappoint and looks amazing in person ;



The pure white has a ghostly look to it ;



I only needed 3600mhz for my Ryzen cpu, but as the 4000mhz was on special offer last week - i went for that one.

The IC is Hynix AFR, which is well down the list of decent clockers, well behind Samsung B and Micron E and a few others according to Buildzoid.

Stock timings are 18-22-22-22-42 @4000mhz

So running at 3600mhz should give me a little headroom for tightning.

Ive not tweaked ram to any great degree before, so armed with a couple of guides i tweaked-stabilty test-tweak-test-tweak-test........for 3 days !

Final stable clocks are 15-18-19-35 1T Geardown mode Disabled @3600mhz / 1.416 v


Not sure if these are good results in the grand scheme of things, but i am pleased with them and i learnt a lot about the various timings and their effects along the way.

In preparation for the New Flight Simulator 2020, I bought 4 sticks of this RAM, giving me 32Gb in total as well as a new Asus TUF GAMING B460-Pro motherboard, an i7 10700K CPU, and Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 cpu cooler.

All seemed to run fine, but despite me enabling the XMP in the Bios and selecting profile 1 which says 4000MHz, my RAM is only running at 2400 MHz? (ie CPUID says 1197.4MHz)

I am a newb at overclocking ( I am guessing that is what XMP is doing )
Really want to get optimum from this setup as Flight Sim released on 18th August (2 days away)

Many thanks in advance for any tips or advice.

Hi Rob, as Joxeon has posted above, it looks like your motherboard is causing the issue.

With the ram, just enabling XMP will boot it at its 4000mhz rated speed

Just tested mine ;



So looking at the above image 1996MHz x 2 ( as it is DDR - Double Data Rate ) = 4000mhz
