preface
Who doesn't know that Kintec has 3 tigers?
After the upgrade of the Jintaike brand, it is divided into three series of products: Zhanhu, Speed Tiger and Panhu. Among them, War Tiger is the most powerful product series, whether it is performance, appearance or materials are superior, memory is specifically for high-end e-sports players to launch RGB light bars. At the end of the year, Kintec released two War Tiger RGB light strips at a time - War Tiger G3 and War Tiger G4, which can be called the "labor model" of the storage industry.
Luckily, I got one of them, the G3 RGB strip, and did a series of tests. To find out how it manifests itself, listen to me.
Jintek Battle Tiger G3 RGB light bar appearance appreciation
(Kimtigo Golden Tiger G3 RGB light strip outer packaging)
In order to enhance the visual and recognition, the Kintec War Tiger series products use plain white as the main color. Among them, the packaging box is marked by the classic Tiger Head logo of Kintec with color gradients; in the upper left corner is the "War Tiger" product series logo, and the words "GAMING MEMORY" are displayed below the logo, indicating that it is positioned as e-sports memory.

The Battle Tiger G3 RGB light bar obtained this time is 8GBx2 composed of 16GB dual channel set, and the fundamental frequency is 3200MHz frequency, no need to set XMP mode in the BIOS, plug in the memory is 3200MHZ.
Open the package to see that the Battle Tiger G3 RGB light bar is fixed by PU foam, and the gold finger part is also intimately prepared with a gold finger protective sleeve, which greatly reduces the damage of the gold finger.
The shell of the War Tiger G3 vest adopts delicate and exquisite paint, showing a white and elegant effect, coupled with sharp lines, sharp and exposed, like a ceramic touch, thick and warm.
The appearance of the War Tiger G3 is inspired by the "Wind from the Tiger" of "Zhou Yi Qian" "Wind from the Tiger, Cloud from the Dragon", which means the mutual induction between things. In order to express the concept of product speed, the designer made a more exaggerated 3-corner face slice of the vest appearance, showing a sense of spatial fragmentation, which is a more common technique in anime, and the divergent light guide strip modeling surface will feel the speed trend because of people's vision, just like a gust of wind.
The War Tiger G3 RGB light bar heat dissipation vest is made of all-aluminum material, which can quickly dissipate heat during memory operation and ensure the stable operation of memory. Moreover, the Battle Tiger G3 adopts a 10-layer PCB design with better power performance, which makes the signal transmission more stable and the competitive experience smoother.

The Battle Tiger G3 light bar is loaded with 8 total 16 RGB lamp beads on each side, and the memory is inserted into the motherboard, the default is the stream light effect, the light flow is smooth and the transition is soft, and the color is uniform. It can be linked with the lighting control system of various brands to present tens of millions of lighting colors, create a strong e-sports atmosphere, and make the game more colorful.
Battle Tiger G3 RGB LIGHT BAR performance test
Next, see how the performance performs. Here's the test platform I used:
I will be two Jintek Tiger G3 memory to form a dual channel operation, so that you can get the benefit of doubling the bandwidth, you want to configure memory, you can give priority to the dual channel memory set.
Through CPU-Z, The Battle Tiger G3 presets four sets of JEDEC parameters, all of which are 3200MHz, and the advantage of the fundamental frequency setting is that it can reach a frequency of 3200MHz as soon as it is turned on, without entering the BIOS setting.
Since the CPU I use is Corei-10900k, limited by the computer platform, the G3 frequency of the War Tiger exceeds 3900MHz, failing to reach a higher frequency, which also confirms that memory overclocking will be limited by the impact of the computer platform, and everyone can set a higher frequency according to their own computer configuration.
Below, we will compare the silent frequency 3200MHz with the overclocking 3900MHz to see how much performance potential the G3RGB light bar of the Kintec Tiger is.
AIDA64
(Kimtigo Golden Tiger G3 RGB LIGHT Bar 3200MHz AIDA64 Review Data)
At 3200MHz, the read and write speeds of the Kintec Battle Tiger G3 are 43641MB/s and 44623MB/s, respectively, with a latency of 61.7ns.
(Kimtigo Golden Tiger G3 RGB LIGHT Strip 3900MHz AIDA64 Review Data)
While overclocking the frequency to 3900MHz, adjusting the timing to 17-20-20-40, and increasing the read and write speed to 53617MB/s and 55024MB/s, the delay was reduced to 49.8ns, and the delay was reduced by 11.9ns, which was enough to surprise people.
3DMARK
(Kimtigo Battle Tiger G3 RGB LIGHT Strip 3200MHz 3DMARK Review Data)
At 3200MHz, 3DMARK measured a CPU score of 12212 and a Time Spy score of 5875.
(Kimtigo Golden Tiger G3 RGB LIGHT Strip 3900MHz 3DMARK Review Data)
After exceeding the frequency to 3900MHz, the CPU score increased to 13215, and the Time Spy score also rose to 5913. The CPU is increased by 7.59%, which makes for a more enjoyable experience in the game.
PerformanceTest
(Kimtigo Golden Tiger G3 RGB LAMP Strip 3200MHz PerformanceTest Evaluation Data)
At 3200MHz, the memory measured with this software is rated 3612.
(Kimtigo Battle Tiger G3 RGB LIGHT Bar 3900MHz PerformanceTest Review Data)
After overclocking to 3900MHz, the memory rating is 4012, which is a 11% improvement. And the memory delay has been reduced from 28 to 24, which shows that the performance potential of the G3 RGB lamp bar of the Kintec Tiger has room to be tapped.
RunMemTestPro
(Kimtigo Battle Tiger G3 RGB LIGHT Bar 3900MHz RunMemTestPro Review Data)
For memory overclocking, it is not only necessary to be super high, but also to be super stable. To this end, I used the memory pressure test software RunMemTestPro to conduct a full range of burn-in tests when the War Tiger G3 was overclocked to 3900MHz, which lasted 1 hour and 7 minutes, and the result was 0 errors!
Kintec Battle Tiger G3 RGB light bar actual use experience
The sky map loads
I dragged a 3.92GB-sized sky map into Photoshop to open it, and loaded a sky map at a frequency of 3200MHz for a total of 35 seconds; when overclocking to 3900MHz, it only took 31 seconds, shortening by 4 seconds, and the designers were much more efficient when facing large-capacity files.
Game frame rate
Red Dead Redemption 2
Horizon 5
Death Stranding
I picked three popular AAA titles for testing, Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon 5, and Death Stranding. The results can be seen that the average frame rate of the three games at 3200MHz is 98fps, 93fps, and 137fps, respectively, and the frame rate is increased to 101fps, 99fps, and 146fps when overclocking to 3900MHz.
Relatively speaking, the Battle Tiger G3 can get a smoother gaming experience after overclocking, and for most people, even at silent frequency, the performance of the game frame rate is enough to have fun.
summary
The sharp lines of the Kintec Tiger G3 are sharp and cool; the RGB light bar presents thousands of colors, creating a strong e-sports atmosphere; the base frequency 3200MHz frequency does not need to set XMP mode in the BIOS, and the memory can reach 3200MHz.
Through the evaluation, you can know that the Jintek Tiger G3 RGB light bar overclocking potential is unlimited, and the War Tiger G3 RGB light bar is mainly cost-effective, which is the gospel of e-sports players, and it is very likely to become a blockbuster RGB memory single product in 2022.
If you want to buy memory next year, you can consider this Golden Tiger G3 RGB lamp bar that has both performance and cost performance.
