G.SKILL Releases DDR4-4400 CL17 Memory Kits with High-Capacity 16GB Modules

I wouldn't see them on my matt black motherboard.

Exactly!

<SNIP> the super scientific dual post code EVGA alphanumeric display in white lighting measuring 1.373v Vcore. (actually 1.360v in bios - it always adds a bit of voltage, not sure why).

Man, what frequency are you running?

Exactly!

Man, what frequency are you running?

My daily work OC isn't so extreme. 5.4Ghz 6c12t 1.360v 4500Mhz 17-17-17-37.

The CPU will do 5.5Ghz 6c12t all day long no issues with increased Vcore, and 5.6Ghz 6c6t with hyperthreading disabled, but I don't want to run it that high on a daily basis, since cannot be easily replaced if something were to go wrong.

3rd-party (aftermarket) binned CPUs can run stable with a lot less voltage - one reason I like them, less voltage = less heat (can be air-cooled) - CPU fan turned way down - no sound output while working.

This chart below is super-stressing Prime 95 results using a standardized test bed. The processors will clock higher and use less volts than the Prime 95 testing obviously with lighter workloads.
