Why You Need a Memory Tester

If you are using a motherboard to test memory you know that
it can take hours or even days. Conflicts between the memory
and the motherboard can make it appear that the memory is
faulty, yet the memory may work just fine in another computer.
Worse, the memory sockets on PC motherboards are not meant for
repeated insertion/removal of modules and will quickly break!
The RAMCHECK LX memory tester will test and identify your
memory module in just seconds. It uses rugged sockets made
specifically for high-volume memory testing that will last for
thousands of cycles. You won’t have to wade through a lengthy
set-up process.

On the official websites of manufacturers, these kits are declared high-performance solutions for gamers, overclockers and content creators. In support of this, the catchy design of all devices, their radiator body kit, and the XMP profile built into each speak.

Specifications are shown in the table. There are few of them.

Error Correction (ECC)	no	no	no

Values with an asterisk indicate that the values shown have been tested and officially recommended by the manufacturers. But since the models are positioned as memory for overclocking, we will still experiment with these parameters.

What does it look like? Subjectively, the G.Skill Trident Z immediately stands out, the biggest “trouble” in design is obvious. Polished metal, the shape of the plastic insert, four colors in the design, «spiky» cuts of radiators — such a memory will clearly be remembered.

Next in the ranking Crucial Ballistix. Red, daring, a kind of container car from the space future. Designed to deliver speed.

And more modest GEIL Orion trims. Black radiators and plastic insert, «chrome» logo, red and white lettering.

By design. It was not possible to look under the massive and, it seems, tightly glued G.Skill radiators. But Crucial and GEIL have it easier: all eight memory chips are visible.

Crucial Ballistix 8GB BL8G32C16U4R

GEIL Orion GOG416GB3200C16ADC

The following is also worth noting. All the brackets are not low-profile, and even with radiators — in our case, none of them got into the DIMM_A1 memory slot next to the processor cooling system. This should be taken into account. In adjacent slots, memory coexists without problems, except that in the case of G.Skill there is no air gap between the strips.

First run, XMP profile activation

All the RAM of the tested brands was provided by the importer of computer components LLC «Nadezhnaya Tekhnika», installed and tested in a custom computer MINSKKING Film Handmade.

MINSKKING Film Handmade

gaming (gaming) computer, CPU Intel Core i3 10100F 3600 MHz, RAM DDR4 16 GB, SSD 1024 GB, graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB, PSU 600 W, no OS

Stand configuration:

Processor: Intel Core i5-10600KF;
motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING Z490-Plus;
graphics card: Palit GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Dual OC 8 GB;
drive: M. 2 SSD WD Blue SN550 1TB;
power supply: SilverStone ST65F-PT;
OS: Windows 10.

So, launch. Someone knows, someone forgot that in each memory bar there are several options (profiles) of parameters with which, depending on the system configuration, the RAM starts and works. These profiles are called JEDEC and are numbered. In the case of G.Skill memory, for example, we have the following picture.

By default G.Skill Trident Z launched as DDR4-2133 (2×1066 MHz) memory with 15-15-15-36 CR2 (JEDEC #6) timings. The GEIL Orion figures are also 1066 MHz, 15-15-15-36 CR2, and in the case of the Crucial Ballistix, DDR4-2666, 19-19-19-43 CR2. To get the performance stated in the technical specifications, you need to activate an additional XMP profile in the BIOS. Then all the sticks will work at 1600 MHz (DDR4-3200) and timings 16-18-18-36(38).

Based on the information received, it is already possible to try to predict the performance of the kits. It is clear that the ideal RAM is memory with the maximum frequency and minimum timings. Hence the theory that memory can be estimated by dividing the speed by the first timing tCL (CAS Latency). Say, the larger the value, the better. However, digging deeper, it turns out that it’s more accurate to divide by timing that does not scale with voltage, and this is not tCL, but the next tRCD in the queue. (If you go deeper and turn on the bore mode, it turns out that it is only correct to compare memory with the same chips.)

Still doing the math in our minds with both stock and XMP values. The result is almost the same. Nevertheless, let’s bet on Crucial. Firstly, after all, the maximum frequency at the factory settings of the three experimental ones, and secondly, we recall that Crucial Technology is a trademark of Micron Technology, a manufacturer of memory chips.

For a more detailed study of the kits, run the Thaiphoon Burner utility.

We see that the RAM from G. Skill and GEIL are made on Samsung chips, and the Crucial memory is on Micron chips. In all cases, the volume of each bar is filled with eight 1 GB chips, and the memory itself has a peer-to-peer organization. We also make sure that the declared XMP profile is available everywhere.

Dump: G.Skill, GEIL, Crucial.

Let’s evaluate the performance gain, which gives the activation of this profile. Let’s use the AIDA64 Cache & Memory Benchmark test.

G.Skill Trident Z

GEIL Orion

Crucial Ballistix

Test developers warn that read and write performance measurements do not reflect typical application workloads, but the copy result provides a better understanding of the impact of CPU and memory subsystem architecture on those same application loads (typical workers).

In general, the result is still obvious: the performance gain when activating the XMP profile in each kit was 42-49% for G.Skill and GEIL and 19-21% for Crucial.

Attempts to overclock

Let’s try to play the role of overclockers and try to get a little more from the memory kits under consideration than is offered by the manufacturer. There are hours of manipulations with frequencies, voltages and timings ahead. After changing any of the parameters in the case of a successful POST (Eng. Power-On Self-Test, hardware self-testing when the PC is turned on), and there were failures, the presence or absence of a performance increase was evaluated. With a positive result, testing for errors was launched. For those who are interested, MEMbench 0.8 beta 4 was used, the entire amount of RAM was used, the maximum number of threads was activated, and the volume of tasks was at least 100%. Only in the absence of errors the result was counted and the next step to the overclocking result was passed.

We do not pretend to be categorical in methods, methods and results, but we got the best performance in all cases at maximum frequencies and the minimum possible of the maximum timings. Namely: G.Skill Trident Z — DDR4-3800, 17-22-22-40 CR2; gain about 15%, GEIL Orion — DDR4-3800, 17-22-22-39 CR2; gain about 15%, Crucial Ballistix — DDR4-3900, 16-20-20-40 CR2; an increase of about 19%.

G.Skill Trident Z (DDR4-3800, 17-22-22-40 CR2; approx. 15% gain)

GEIL Orion (DDR4-3800, 17-22-22-39 CR2; about 15% gain)

Crucial Ballistix (DDR4-3900, 16-20-20-40 CR2; about 19% gain)

other approaches and logic: leave the timings of the XMP profile, but by raising the voltages, get an increase in frequency, take the timings a little higher than in XMP, and also look for the maximum frequency, leave the frequency at 1600 MHz, but reduce the timings.

Working options are as follows:

G.Skill Trident Z — DDR4-3400, 17-19-19-38CR2;
GEIL Orion — DDR4-3300, 16-18-18-36 CR2 and DDR4-3400, 17-19-19-38 CR2;
Crucial Ballistix — DDR4-3500, 16-18-18-36 CR2, DDR4-3600, 17-19-19-38 CR2 and DDR4-3200, 15-17-17-34 CR2.

In all cases, the performance gain compared to XMP was recorded, but it was still lower than the results already obtained.

Result in practice

From stock performance to performance after overclocking, there seems to be progress, and it is impressive. But what will it give users in general? What will be the contribution of overclocked RAM to the treasury of the overall performance of the PC?

We selected two benchmarks for comprehensive performance testing — PerformanceTest 10.1 (build 1002) and PCMark 10 Professional (5.40.908.0), two archivers with built-in performance tests — WinRAR 6.02 and 7-Zip 19.00, and also launched the Metro Exodus computer game. Let’s see if the game is worth the candle. The results are in a series of screenshots below:

PerformanceTest 10.1

PCMark 10 Professional

WinRAR 6.02

7-Zip 19.00

Metro Exodus, max FPS

Well, the real world turned out to be not so rosy, and the resulting performance gain somehow «evenly dissipated». We are sure that our overclocking result is far from the limit, and more perseverance, time and knowledge in fine-tuning would certainly bring additional results, but here the question is individual uncompromisingness — XMP is enough for someone, someone is ready to look further. We tried — something worked out, which means that users will succeed if they wish.

Conclusion

According to the classics of the genre, in addition to reasoning about the need for overclocking, you need to compare the considered memory kits with each other. The results in «parrots» are higher, and subjectively, all sets showed equally good results. There are no clear favorites, as well as outsiders. Unless the Crucial memory allowed for a little more experimentation.
