Acer Predator Glare Starship c14 3600MHz Review – looks and performance go hand in hand

Acer's Predator brand since the out of the Samsung b-die particles of memory, due to the high cost performance and outstanding overclocking ability, has been the attention of many memory players, this year Acer Predator has a new glare starship, memory particles still use Samsung special b-die, and upgrade the light effect and appearance, there are 16GB and 32GB two kinds of suit capacity, for the performance and want to look good friends, there is a new choice.

Test platform

CPU：12700KF

Radiator: Corsair H100i Elite Edition

Motherboard: ASUS Z690-A blowing snow

Graphics: Shadow Chi Hall of Fame PRO 3070Ti

Solid: Acer Predator GM7000

Power supply: Great Wall Gold Hunting Tribe TF750

Chassis: United Bauhaus MINI

Unpacking and appearance

The upper right corner of the outer packaging is marked with the light control software that supports the major plate factories and supports the synchronization of Shenguang

The back label is marked with frequency and timing: 3600MHz CL14-15-15-35 (Low timing can reduce latency, for high frame-rate games, latency has a very large impact on the frame rate, which is why many gamers are currently keen on memory overclocking.) ）

Of course, 3600MHz is far from the limit of Samsung's special b-die, and can be adjusted to the frequency and timing that suits you according to your own situation.

Memory vest is made of aluminum alloy, the vest is very thick, the dense groove design under the vest is also to greatly increase the heat dissipation area, the memory texture is very good on the hand, the vest also has a built-in temperature sensor, which can monitor the memory temperature in real time

The color of the vest is also white, and in the pure white host, there is no sense of violation, and even feels very matched

The upgraded light effect is also very beautiful, support the divine light synchronization, 8 independent light zones, very balanced, the color is also very rich, especially the light bar design shape is square, not a strange shape, I personally prefer the shape of the square things, vest from the front and side of the face are on the line, but the value of this thing is more subjective, you can judge for yourself.

Performance measured

For most players, turning on the XMP 3600MHz c14 can get a very good performance improvement.

This is the running score of opening XMP, the read speed is 56000+, the delay is 59.1ns, and the memory delay of 12700KF is generally high, generally within 60 is good.

Overclocking: Simply say overclocking, the performance of the 12th generation intel in gear1 mode is better than that of gear2 mode, the memory frequency will be divided after reaching a certain value, the performance will decrease, the delay will increase, as for the frequency of this crossover, it is related to the CPU constitution, generally 12 generation intel can reach 4000MHz, the big eagle physique can be 4266MHz, according to its own situation to adjust, I have 12700K a bit thunder, the highest gear1 can reach 4000MHz, I went beyond 4000MHz c15 15 15 28, the small ginseng is too troublesome, did not adjust much, only trcf to 280.

After the super, the reading speed increased to about 65000, the delay dropped to 51.7, and the delay should be reduced to less than 50

In terms of game comparison, let's simply test the before and after frame rate performance of CSGO

The average number of frames has increased somewhat, and the biggest improvement after overclocking is actually the increase in the minimum frame count, that is, the stability of the frame count

Eating chicken is a game I often play, playing it I feel that the average frame count of 3600MHz c14 and 4000MHz c15 is different but not large, but the minimum frame rate of eating chicken at 4000MHz c15 is obviously much better, and this game eats memory latency.

summary

Acer Predator Vesta Glare Starship from the performance point of view, even if the default XMP has good performance, but after overclocking, the performance has a certain improvement, whether it is installed white or overclocked master, is good.

From the appearance point of view, the appearance design of the vest is also OK, the white vest is also very suitable for the pure white host, the lighting effect is also very beautiful, support the light control software of the major motherboard factories, and the appearance and performance coexist.

From the price point of view, in the special pick b-die in the cost performance is also very high, from the overclocking point of view, the 12th generation intel is a bit limited to the performance of the special pick b-die, in the gear2 mode, the frequency of memory can be super higher, but the performance is general, in general, Acer Predator Glare Starship is a memory worth buying, for the general game users, 16GB suit can be applied, if there is a professional office needs and large game needs, A larger 32GB package is recommended.

If there is no sense of light, ordinary vest strips can also be selected, and the particles are also Samsung special B-die, which can also exceed 4000MHz c14~c16.
