Thank you for the review. I liked the "No RGB" being a plus.

Also, please revise this con point:

• Minimal gains in real-real applications.

I need to get a T-Shirt that says this now!

Sad that DDR4 was on top in so many of these benchmarks and that ultimately it makes very little difference in the real world.

Why hasn't that comment been added to every PCI-E 4 and 5 NVME SSD review too?

What's the relationship between the two?

Unrelated. It won't matter if DDR4 is faster in some stuff because after this Intel 1700, DDR4 is done, just like AMD just did with its new platform. It will no longer be benchmark if the platform doesn't support it.

At the rate DDR5 is "progressing", I wonder if 10,000MHz CL20 RAM will perform the same as current mainstream kits when it comes out. I'm sure it will smash AIDA and Cinebench though!

Are people getting DDR5 stable these days using XMP? My Alder Lake system fought me every step of the way trying to get my 6400 CL36 kit to work at those speeds.

I found after retesting a number of z690 MBs with a 13900K (that can do 8400). It's mostly just that z690 series holding you back plus 12th Gen CPU is pretty much limited to 6800-7400 on the IMC. So still a good chance you won't be able to run 7200 on a Z790 either with any given 12th Gen CPU.

As said in the review, pair 13th gen with z790 or don't buy this (or any 7200+ kit).

Doesn't matter how fast the memory is if memory controllers aren't stable at those speeds. See any number of Buildzoid's rants about Intel not being able to do much over 6000MT if you want absolute stability, and AMD doesn't go past 6400 anyway.

Buildzoid does rant alright lol. Intel can certainly go well above 6000. The video your referring to is his most recent in which he got random errors. 1 after 12 hours and zero the next 26. This isn't ECC server stuff. Errors will happen. Also did you noticed his ram was at 63c for the first 12 hr one but 35c for the second?

I wouldn't take what he is saying as absolute. He's just one of many. With different experiences.

I have my 5600mhz cl36 (AMD Expo) 2x RAM kit working overclocked at 6000mhz even. Very happy with it.
