Hi, Just wonder, does anyone have experience with this kit? I just got my hand onto these moduls, and i am impressed after the first try. Before i used the 4133 C18 variant of Team Group kit, it worked very different. I will post some 24/7 setup, still have not started going rough with them. Maybe somebody already did it before me, so i can ask, and do not need to waste time to find the optimal setup.
 
I know this is a few months old not but just wondering how you got on with the overclocking? I may be getting a kit of these and want to know how they will go.
 
Well, i made some improvement, but i cannot find a stable 24/7 setup. I was able to test these rams on 4500MHz@C16-18-18-28 1T, tRFC 280, and very thigh subs, with 1.58V. It was without maxmem, so there was no tweaking. I was able to boot and do some benchmark too with CL15, but it appeared slower than CL16. That was the very edge of the stability of these moduls.
What is bad, i could not work out a stable 24/7 setup, even if i loaded them on XMP I or II. :( I am still trying, with maximum 1.5V. I am sure, memories are fine, it will be an issue with the IMC. I played a lot with the SA and IO voltages, but no luck so far.
What is interesting, on my daily 4133@C16-16-16-30 1T, tRFC300 with 1.45V and same thigh subs, it is stable, and i can boot up with Maximus Tweak on Mode 2. With Mode 1, there is no post. On 4500MHz, it does not post with Mode 2, 55 post code is coming up every time, i have to use Mode 1.

Do not understand the nature of the memory OC with Coffee lake. Honestly, maybe this is the only issue.

These are my old modules. Now i purchased a second set, it has a different PCB layout, and looks like perform better on 4133. Have not checked 4500MHz for benching, but i have a same issue to stabilize it for 24/7.

Thanks for the info.

I don't think there are many CPUs that can run these at the rated 4500, I don't expect them to work at that on my 7800X but I am hoping that they will be able to bench at 4000 with tight timings. Anything at or below 14-14-14 would be nice.

Not really bothered about 24/7 as I use a different, 32gb kit, for that.

Should be getting the sticks in a week or so but am moving house so wont have time to play with them for a long while. I'll try and remember to post my results when I get around to it.

Click to expand...

Do not think so.So i just stick it onto 4133, with low latency, and i do not chase that 4.5GHz with this CPU.

Like this, it is stable. 1.525V... If you do bench, you will use 1.9V+, so C12 is a possible target. It is a good kit, perfom well with a cheaper price tag. I got mine only for £177, with one time discount.

Just a small hint for the end. I released the 4500MHz, but the 4400 looks fine. The Apex+BDie command rate issue appeared, so it cannot run in 1T. It is 100% stable. SA/IO 1.296V/1.248V, DRAM 1.54V. I looked after, what is the maximum safe voltage for the BDie IC -s for 24/7 use. It ended up 1.6V, as the maximum... So maybe i will try the C15 on that Volt.

I have this kit and can’t get them to run Xmp settings. I haven’t got a clue ocing ram but have got mine at 4300mhz at 18 18 18 36 at 1.45v. I’m on cometlake. I will try your settings.
