Review on XPG 3600MHz 288 Pin PC4 28800 AX4U36008G18I DCBKD45G by Zha Rivera

Ahh, nothing gives me more joy than overclocking budget memory to speeds that even exotically expensive memory can't handle. lack of silicon. This means that memory from mainstream manufacturers is hard to come by and, when available, incredibly overpriced. If you want 4000+ top-of-the-line storage from the big boys, get ready to shell out $200 for 8GB. Do you want a panel house? Well, it will be the same as Threadripper. Because I can't imagine spending more on memory than the rest of my computer. Something had to give up, and that was RAM. I figured it was one of those things that's easy and quick to replace (unlike a mobile device, GPU, or CPU), so I'll save that for now and grab the good stuff when we have sand (um , silicon ) the back. went. I finally came across this set with a name I can't pronounce or even understand the meaning of. However, it was 1. cheap and 2. still quite fast with good latency. Fast forward a few months and had it running at the prescribed 3600MHz speed with no problems, and now I've been able to snag a couple of 4200MHz Dominator modules in a flash sale. While waiting for her, we thought let's see what this stuff can really do. So at this point I'm already a big boy on my night and am gradually increasing the memory speed in 100MHz increments. I easily got to 4100MHz and finally got fed up with long test periods and changes, so I just bump that frequency up 1k to 4600MHz. Write it down and after 6 hours NO ERROR! Even the most expensive items produce some errors. However, I just overclocked it by almost 40%. After that I apparently fell asleep (passed out) and woke up thinking maybe I dreamed it or was in a fog when I did it. So the next day I did it again and low and that's not a mistake. How can it be? I have never overclocked the memory above 1000MHz. I took an old DDR4 3000 from Hyper and tried to overclock it to 3200MHz but got errors and crashes. How could I get this budget base memory to overclock to memory speeds that people pay $1000+ for? Well, I'll never know. However, here we are the work. The color convinced me to say the least. Inbound pros and cons. Pros: Incredibly affordable, especially during the 2021 silicon shortages. Got 1k overcooled RGB (not really my thing) - Mismatched sets, both getting 4600MHz with no issues (crazy) Cons - RGB (yes, that's a plus/minus since it I don't care) - No manufacturer name - OC to 1000MHz more will likely void your warranty. To be honest I've overclocked everything I've ever had and I've never had such a significant boost in anything! It really is an impressive sight. The weirdest thing here is that I have a mismatched memory. Both 16GB sets belong to completely different batches and theoretically shouldn't withstand such an overclock. In general, the color impressed me the most!
