I'd like to see a few benchmarks showing potential performance gains in games that are memory bound. 720p low benchmarks won't make much sense in most benchmarks, but it would be perfect for memory testing.

G.Skill has rolled out its DDR5-7200 48GB non-binary memory kit, but does it provide the performance that consumers need?

Hi, can you say what die type, brand or model this ram is? bought it but i cant find what die is it and i had to push 1.62V dram voltage to get it running stable on xmp profile using 13700KF and MSI Z790 Tomahawk. Im a bit nervous to the idea of pushing a 1.62V daily, even more without being sure of die type.

Wow that is high AF. I’d turn that down to 1.5V maximum unless you have dedicated RAM fans or RAM water cooling. Also, even at 1.5V, if you have a graphics card and cpu cooler dumping heat into the case, the RAM can still reach thermal instability unless you have a well executed case and fan setup.

That is really high. My DDR5-6000 runs at 1.3V you wouldn't think you would need that much more voltage for 20% more MHz (compared to 6000).

If I turn down this voltage i get errors on OCCT after 30min stress test approx. I do have a good airflow but no dedicated ram fan. Temps are not so scary 63°C after 1H stress test.

I don’t know your specific ram die, but some begin erroring past 50-55C, others 60-70C. If your ram will not run XMP at the programmed voltage of 1.35V then either you have bad memory and you should RMA it, or, more likely your 13700k has a weak memory controller. Either way, greater than 1.5V on your ram will degrade your memory controller and may render your 13700k unusable over time. Intel only warrants up to 6200mhz memory to work. The memory controller working faster than 6200mhz is considered a bonus. Sounds like you didn’t get a “golden sample”.

Have you tried tweaking the memory controller voltage to see if it will stabilize the controller?
