This is not a review sample. Team Group 8Pack RIPPED Edition 2x8gb DDR4 PC4-28800C14 TDPPD416G3600HC14CDC01 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team-group-8pack-ripped-edition-16gb-2x8gb-ddr4-pc4-28800c14-3600mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-my-001-8p.html Part 1 - Intro I only heard of this kit of ram because @sabishiihito posted about it on Facebook. At the time, it was priced at £139.99 including VAT, and ended up being about $175USD shipped to the US. That's maybe $10 cheaper than other 3600C14 bin kits including taxes, which sounds about right for a kit of RAM without RGB. My kit has a 10 layer A2 style PCB with Samsung B-Die ICs, and as far as I'm aware all kits of this bin do too. I am a fan of computer parts that don't have RGB, and this kit matches my setup very well. It comes with a nice short aluminum (?) heatspreader and shouldn't conflict with most CPU coolers, unlike the Teamgroup Xtreem DDR4 which is quite tall. Part 2 - Testing My setup includes an EVGA Z390 Dark (running on the first public XP supporting bios), delidded i7-8700k (running at 50 core/47 cache for daily and 50 core/50 cache for heavy OC), an NH-D9L, an EVGA GTX 980 Ti Classified, and an EVGA 750W N1. My air conditioning is set to about 20C but being summer I doubt it ever gets that low, even at night. 2A - XMP The kit is advertised as doing 3600mhz 14-15-15-15-35 between 1.4vdimm and 1.5vdimm. Interestingly, the XMP did not load the advertised timings. It set 3600 15-15-15-35 at 1.45vdimm. I don't know if others who purchased this kit have this problem, but I hope it will be fixed in a new revision. I have been notified that the XMP issue is likely motherboard related. No need to worry. Here is the performance at the default XMP: Thankfully, the memory would still run at the rated speed and timings just fine. I had to manually change cas latency in bios, but it's really not a huge issue in my opinion. See here: 2B - Manual daily overclocking My initial impressions of this kit for daily overclocking were quite good. It booted my base profile of 4000 15-16-16-28 280 1t tight subtimings with no difficulty and passed memtest without a fan on the memory. I then tightened to 15-15-15 and it still worked without issue. I then put a 140mm fan over the memory and tried for 4133c15. Unfortunately, these settings would not train at all. I backed off to 4100 and it trained without issue. I was able to get it to pass benchmarks at 4100c15 but it was not quite memtest stable. I then tried to do 4000 ratio x 102.1 bclk, and ended up with 4080 15-15-15-28 280 1t tight subtimings memtest stable at only 1.5vdimm! The performance is quite good, as you see here: This is slightly better than my previous best kit for daily overclocking, a pair of 4000c17 Trident Z Royal Silver that now belong to @Rauf. 2C - High voltage overclocking This kit made my work easy. It booted up my 4800c14 profile first attempt and within 10 minutes I had 4800 14-13-13-28 220 2t passing Geekbench 3 reliably at 2.05vdimm, without any vtt tuning. 4133 12-11-11-28 220 1t should be doable at the same voltage, however I did not test it. 4800c14 with more optimized timings needed 2.06vdimm: 32493 passed but crashed before the screenshot. tWRWR_dr/dd at 5/5 would likely push me past the 32500 barrier, but it needed more voltage. Like many B-Die made in 2020, the voltage tolerance is low. I could not pass SuperPi 32m at with or without waza at 4800 14-13-13 or 14-14-14 for that reason. These settings are not to be used daily. At such high voltages, memory access in Windows is limited to less than 2.5gb. Part 3 - Conclusion Overall, I'm pleased with this kit of RAM. It overclocked well beyond its rated speeds. It looks great and fits my system well. It's a great budget overclocking option, especially for people who don't have the money to buy a set that's been handpicked by a pro or or who don't have the means to go digging through the used market in search of a golden ticket. I hope the XMP issue is fixed soon, as more casual users may have a problem with it. I would like to see the Teamgroup Dark 3600c14 for sale in the US market. I hope the XMP issue is fixed soon, as more casual users may have a problem with it. I rate it an 8.5 9/10, definitely recommend.

Apparently, 4666 14-13 has been done with A0 memory on the Crosshair VIII Impact. Also, @sabishiihito almost got 4800c14 working on an Apex IX using an Apex X bios. Could somebody try to put the two together?

@unityofsaints can still use Benchmate 0.9.3

@keeph8n Z390 with 8700k and Windows 10 2004. @unityofsaints I tested it, I can confirm @Splave's findings with Windows versions.

In my testing, 3.1.5 is still slightly better than 3.4.3b3.

Rebench with 3.4.3b3 and chilly mem? Dual rank and/or c13?

Seems Renoir might be another viable option for OC. Screens from Facebook: Not sure if 2333 is the limit, as the processor isn't even released. Also saw that it has a 4:1 mode available (5600 mem and 1400 fabric). If this chip keeps fabric clocks under cold it could really bring the heat to the 9900k/10700k for geek 3. Would like to say not my cpu and not my screen. Likely came from somewhere on chiphell.

Seems there is a new version of geek 3, scores similarly to 3.1.5 https://geekbench.s3.amazonaws.com/Geekbench-3.4.3b3-WindowsSetup.exe Haven't tested with 4800c14 yet but soon.

Would you take a Z390 Dark

3866 11-9-9 should be worth a try Also dual rank with basically same timings

Price drop for the last kit

@ale_beloimagine what would happen with proper mem, and geek 3.1.5

Absolutely amazing result! Did you test this CPU on ambient?

Excellent score! 3300X + agressive memory + geek 3.1.5 should make for some very competitive results.

Excellent CPU! Does this board have unlocked bios voltage?

#3 sold to @Splave for $330 shipped (both pairs) #1 sold to @Kona64 for $200 shipped

and better results are here @Hicookie

#1 pending to @Kona64

#3 pending to @Splave

Screen from @Hicookie Better results to come

C'mon y'all

Nice 10900k

Have you tried binning more niche CPUs, like the L5645 and X5679?
