DDR4 - what's best to look for?

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

 

I was wondering if you could give me a hand here. I'm trying to figure out what sort of DDR4 would be good to go for in an X99 system. Of course it's for benching, before you ask. :)

 

I instantly went to these modules as they are highly clocked and have a low starting voltage.

I'm guessing that they would do better than an equivalent kit at C15 with 1.35 volts but I could be entirely wrong here.

 

Where would your money go? Looking to keep it below £250 ($375).

 

Thanks in advanced. :)

Oh, that is very interesting. Thanks for the suggestion!

 

That's also the place I got all of my computer gear from when I lived in Holland. :D

 

Keep 'em coming, guys. :)

Awesome. Thanks Nick. :)

 

Still leaning towards the black ones though. It's not an easy choice with it being so new!

All Hynix kits with specs of 2800C14, 3000C15, 3200C16 or lower are pretty similar in terms of average quality. If you want to go above this level, you'd have to go for 2666C13 Kingstons (as suggested) or expensive 3200C15/3200+C16 kits.

Oh, really? Thanks for the heads up, Sam. :D

Nice memory^ I haven't had a chance to test the new platform myself but wouldn't say 3600mhz with tighter trcd be faster? Or does this new platform like benefit from MHz over timings?

Very nice memory indeed!!

 

Is that still a Kingston HyperX kit or is it another one?

 

I'm going to get a Skylake system as soon as I have gotten rid of most of my old gear. I'm meant to be saving for a wedding, but benching bugs bite. :D

this is in comparison with mfr

consider sammy would be better on air, new platform should benefit from mhz over timing.
