We review an XTREEM 16GB kit from Team Group. The T-Force 4133 MHz 16GB memory is cool, fast and runs XMP 2.0 memory profiles on Intel platforms as well. Join us as we review some of the fastest clock... Review: Team Group T-Force 4133 MHz 16GB DDR4
Nice RAM and review - however, no Ryzen 3k performance/testing? That would've been interesting. But I guess maybe this was conducted before that NDA was released or the reviewer did not have a CPU in house for it.
That is correct, the review was prior to Ryzen 3000. I've not had the time to looks ta it with R3000 due to the many and ongoing embargo reviews.
Thanks for the review. As usual, little or no benefit in games compared to cheaper options. -- On page 13 it says "Dota 2 / FireStorm". It should be "Dota 2 / FireStrike". This also happens in some previous reviews, like this one: https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/g_skill_tridentz_royal_ddr4_3200_mhz_review,13.html
I've got exactly the same memory modules in my PC. I can confirm that it is impossible to go above 3900MHz with ASUS Hero X (Z370). After a little time of tweaking I finally found them stable at 3900MHz 16-16-16-35 tRAS 350@1.45V It is actually not bad at all but would have been better if these kit had simply gone on XMP with my motherboard.
Why not give these memory modules a fair chance at the rated XMP speed by testing them on the 9900K/ASRock Z390?
Coz all test results are based on the 8700K platform. So that would mean we have nothing to compare to.
Sure, I understand that, but you need to be able to test high speed modules on a more dependable system. I would be ok with it if you mix the results like you do for gaming benchmarks in the GPU reviews (5960X / 9900K)... at least until the 8700K is phased out. Now or later, a platform shift is inevitable. My two cents
