preface:
When it comes to the memory particles that can be most overclocked at the moment, I believe that many small partners will choose Samsung, Hynix, and Magnesium. For example, the Weigang D50 I use the most is the CJR particles of Hynix, the overclocking effect is good, as long as the pull timing and voltage, you can easily overclock to more than 4000MHz. Just recently, the small partner said to give me a pair of rainbow CVN defender memory, when waiting for the courier, I also checked it by hand, and some player reviews showed that this memory is also using Hynix's CJR particles, and the overclocking performance is also good. However, when I got it, I found that the memory used South Asian particles. So what exactly is the experience of that memory? After reading it, you will have the answer.
First of all, in terms of packaging, Rainbow CVN Defender memory belongs to a more "luxurious" style. The huge package has only one piece of memory, which is a waste of space. However, the design of the outer packaging is still very sensual, the sharp lines + red and gray color, and there is a window design on the packaging, which looks dazzling.
Unpack it and you can see that one box is actually enough to hold 2 sticks of memory. As for accessories, Rainbow CVN Defender memory is also very simple, in addition to memory is a manual + warranty card.
The metal cooling vest of rainbow CVN defender memory uses a brushed process, and the overall design and outer packaging are the same. It is also a red + gray color scheme, combined with many lines, which looks like the flavor of mecha armor in science fiction movies. Of course, there is also a CVN logo in the upper left corner to indicate the identity,
The top of the Rainbow CVN Defender memory features a translucent light guide tape, and the official outer packaging also indicates that the memory supports RGB synchronization of the 5 major motherboard manufacturers.
The capacity, frequency, and S/N serial number of the memory are placed on a small label on the other side.
For example, the capacity of this memory is 8GB, the frequency is 3200MHz, and the timing is 16-20-20-40. To be honest, when I saw this timing, my first feeling was that this memory was not an "ash version", and the factory was the limit. Therefore, it is still known on the machine.
The platforms tested for this test are:
CPU: AMD Ryzen™ R5 5600X
Memory: Rainbow CVN Guardian Defender RGB Light Bar 8GB DDR4 3200MHz*2
Motherboard: MSI MPG X570S EDGE MAX WIFI
Radiator: Overclocked triple EX4000
Silicone grease: overclocked tri-GT3
Hard Drive: Samsung 980 Pro (500GB) + aigo P3000 (1TB)
Graphics: Yingchi RTX 3080Ti Metal Master OC
Chassis: Antec DF700 FLUX
Power supply: MSI MPG A750GF
The effect of the fully installed machine, the computer desk is the customized version of the Aofeng Gundam, and the screen is MSI Luna MPG 343CQR, a 34-inch, 1000R curvature, 165Hz e-sports monitor, the experience is very good.
The RGB lighting effect of rainbow CVN defender memory is also good, with delicate colors and balanced brightness.
However, the only regret is that the memory does not seem to be RGB synchronization with the MSI MPG X570S EDGE MAX WIFI motherboard, and the memory light cannot be recognized after turning on the MSI control software.
Test performance:
First look at the Typhoon Software, after testing, the particles of rainbow CVN Defender memory areAya South Asia, the batch is NT5AD1024M8C3-GZ, C-die. The default frequency is 2133MHz.
First use AIDA64 to test the 2133MHz frequency, the results can only be described as miserable. The read speed is 30461MB/s, the write speed is 19038MB/s, the copy speed is 28049MB/s, and the latency is 97.1ns.
▲2133MHz
After turning on XMP, the frequency was increased to 3200MHz, and the timing was 16-20-20-40 CR1, and all the results were comprehensively improved. Among them, the read speed is 45169MB/s, the write speed is 25583MB/s, the replication speed is 41126MB/s, and the latency is 72.4ns.
▲3200MHz
Maintain the 16-20-20-40 CR1 timing, set the voltage to 1.35V, you can directly overclock the memory frequency to 3600MHz, at this time the achievements are improved again. Among them, the read speed is 50366MB/s, the write speed is 28760MB/s, the replication speed is 45800MB/s, and the latency is 69.9ns.
▲3600MHz
Increased the timing to 18-21-21-41 CR1 with a read speed of 49701MB/s, a write speed of 30359MB/s, a copy speed of 47280MB/s, and a latency of 70.3ns.
▲3800MHz
Slightly increase the timing to 20-24-24-44 CR1, at which time the frequency of the Rainbow CVN Defender memory can be overclocked to 4000MHz, at which time the read speed reaches 53910MB/s, the write speed is 31888MB/s, the replication speed is 49615MB/s, and the latency is 70.2ns.
▲4000MHz
In terms of stability, the Rainbow CVN Defender memory at 4000MHz frequency can not only pass various tests, but also bring certain floating improvements to game performance. For example, when I tested Cyberpunk 2077, I could easily run above 100 frames.
summary:
After actual testing, although the Rainbow CVN Defender memory module particles in my hand are used in South Asia, it has given me a big surprise in terms of overclocking experience. After turning on XMP, it can be easily overclocked from 3200MHz to 3600MHz without changing the timing, and if the voltage and timing are added appropriately, it can even be used directly when the 4000MHz high-frequency memory module is used. For this reason, everyone thinks that rainbow CVN defender memory 8GB 3200MHz is priced at 299, what do you think?
