Many small partners who are considering installing the machine will more or less ignore a problem, is the memory really chosen correct? The most important indicator of memory is capacity, so this is the first thing we consider when picking memory, but have you ever paid attention to the memory frequency indicator? How much performance improvement will the same capacity, frequency differences bring?
In fact, the choice of memory, the priority of capacity is higher, but the frequency is equally important, depending on user needs. For example, my cousin recently had the intention of installing the machine, he asked him about the use of the scene, he said that it is mainly used for PS, AE and other image and video processing needs, but also consider playing some 3A masterpieces, so the advice I gave is to consider 16G-32G dual-channel high-frequency memory.
Coupled with the recent flash memory particle factories around the world old moths, a variety of production capacity is limited, so foreign media expect that the contract price of memory chips will rise significantly in the second quarter of this year, so they take advantage of the eve of price increases to quickly stockpile goods. Just to give you a comparison of the performance of high frequencies and low frequencies of memory.
This article is the Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 Raiden series hacker strip, a single capacity of 4GB-32GB, frequency range between 2400MHz-3733MHz, latency of CL15-19, but also at 2400MHz and 2666MHz frequency to achieve Plug N Play automatic overclocking, suitable for Intel and AMD's latest platforms, support XMP overclocking, today we will talk about the memory and frequency impact on performance geometry.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > design</h1>
My first impression of getting the Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 was that the design was back to the classic Raiden series, and at that time I was still using a non-RGB version that looked a little more elegant.
The Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 also features a new low-profile heatsink (black heatsink) and changes the symmetrical design of the Predator series, with smoother and smaller lines for improved heat dissipation.
The other side of the memory is affixed with product information, such as product serial number, origin, voltage and other important information. Users can compare whether the information on the packaging is consistent to determine the authenticity of the product.
The Top of the Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 is the light bar section, with the word "HYPERX" printed on the left for legibility, and the DDR4 printed on the right.
Because I started with a 16GB×2 set, there are two in total, and in most cases the set is more expensive than the 2 memory sticks of the same capacity that are sold by ordinary singles, because the set of memory sticks is tested at the factory, the compatibility is good, and it can be guaranteed that it is the same batch of the same memory particles. However, at present, as long as it is the same brand of memory with the same specifications, there will be no compatibility problems.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, hands-on testing</h1>
Next is the computer work, first of all, let's talk about my test hardware platform, this set of hosts is my first installation of the program, placed in the bedroom of the home, at that time also wrote a review, the heat is not bad. The processor is i5-8600k, the motherboard is Asus Z370-E, the hard disk is the Western Digital Black Disk 500GB SSD + the Western Digital 10TB Mybook disassembly disk, the graphics card is gigabyte public version GTX1070, although not as good as my dormitory, but the test platform is still enough.
Plug the Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 into the slot of DIMM 2 and DIMM 4 to open dual channels, you can also choose 1 and 3, remember not to choose 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, otherwise there will only be a single channel.
In terms of lighting effects, after plugging in the memory and turning on the power, the Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 will automatically light up, and the default is a streamer and other effect.
The two memories use infrared technology to wirelessly synchronize the light effects, which is very consistent in appearance and feel. If you use the motherboard's Sekarosy sync software, you can also customize the RGB lighting effect, but I still like the constantly changing "marquee".
The previously mentioned word "HYPERX" will continue to appear at the top, making it very visible even in dark environments.
[Benchmark]: Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 when plugged in on the computer, no need to operate to turn on support XMP technology, plug and play automatic overclocking, engineers pre-defined settings, select a profile, without too much manual adjustment to get high-speed performance. So there is nothing to point into the system memory frequency directly to 3600MHz. However, in order to better perform, we still need to adjust the memory frequency of kingston hyperX Fury DDR4 in the BIOS, we can see that kingston has two built-in XMP overclocking schemes (Profile), one is 3603MHz, the timing voltage is 17-21-21-39-1.35V, and the other is 3733MHz, the timing voltage is 19-23-23-42-1.35V, the user clicks on the line.
We first set the i5-8600K to a clocking frequency of 4.6GHz and a voltage of 1.2V for stable overclocking. The Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 is then set to low frequency: 2400MHz and high frequency: 3733MHz, respectively, and tested by software and games.
〖CPU-Z〗: After entering the system, open CPU-Z, you can see that at this time, kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 has opened dual channels, the memory frequency is 1866.8MHz×2=3733.6MHz, and the timing is 19-23-23-42.

【Data Summary】: After summarizing the data in the previous article, we calculated the proportion of the improvement according to the percentage, as shown in the following figure. It can be seen that the most improvement of high-frequency memory (3733MHz) over low-frequency memory (2400MHz) is the read and write replication performance of memory. In terms of CPU performance, multi-core performance is more improved than single-core performance. There has also been a slight improvement in the gaming experience.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, evaluation review</h1>
Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 RGB Thunderbolt Series Hacker Strip is a supplement to Kingston's high-end memory, the price will be a little more affordable than the predator, more suitable for the first installation or upgrade of the old computer. I was before the 8GB×2 predator (2933MHz), and now upgraded to 16GB×2 thunderbolt hacker god strip (3733MHz), I feel that the export rendering of pictures and videos is much faster, it seems that the blessing of large memory is still quite important.
In terms of frequency testing, the results from the above article can also be seen that the 3733MHz high frequency possessed by the Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 RGB Thunderbolt Series Hacker Strip has a significant improvement in the read and write replication rate of memory, and can also have a certain improvement in game, video editing and rendering. More critically, this memory supports plug N Play and also comes pre-built with two XMP overclocking schemes (Profile). For the average user, plug and play, no need to master the manual overclocking method. Before I was worried that my cousin did not know how to manually adjust the BIOS to overclock the memory, which knew that I entered the BIOS only to find that I directly automatically adapted to overclocking, nothing to move, really counted on the small white gospel. This memory is also tested for speed at the factory and is warranted for life, so there is no need to worry about after-sales problems.
The last Easter egg - my original 2 Marauder + 2 Thunderbolt series of four channels, although the model specifications are different, but can still be used together, but the frequency will be limited, because the maximum frequency of the Marauder is 2933MHz, RGB lighting effect is also synchronized. Of course, the increase in memory is far more efficient than the increase in frequency. Follow-up consideration to start a pair of Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 RGB Thunderbolt series hacker god bar, you can make up 64GB, then the hardware short board may be the board U graphics card. Recently, the memory has a high probability of price increase, and it is best to stock up on children's shoes that need to be installed.
This concludes my sharing, I am Geek Research Monk, a graduate student who loves to test well.
