Silicon Power 2x16GB DDR5 4800MHz C40 Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2022-12-19

The DDR5 4800MHz kit from Silicon Power represents its point of entrance within the new RAM standard and does not include either a heatsink or RGB lighting. In terms of performance, we can squeeze some extra by raising the frequency to 5400MHz, while working with a voltage of 1.25, still fine to be used without extra cooling.

Test Setup and Test Results Part I

Test Setup

 

CPU: Intel i7-13700K @ Stock

CPU Cooler: be quiet! Silent Loop 2 360mm AIO

Motherboard: EVGA Z690 CLASSIFIED

RAM: currently tested kit

Video: XFX Radeon RX 5700XT Ultra THICC III

Power Supply: Cooler Master 850W

SSD: Silicon Power US70 1TB PCIe 4.0

Case: Cooler Master ATCS 840

 

The pre-programmed timings and frequencies can be also found by using AIDA64; the DRAM IC manufacturer is listed as Micron:

 

 

 

We did first start testing this kit on our trusty Z690 CLASSIFIED from EVGA, running the latest 2.03 BETA BIOS from the support page. The RAM does not incorporate an XMP profile and upon the first boot we noted the default frequency set at 4400MHz, so we modified it to 4800MHz manually. With the default voltage of 1.1V, we have completed the TM5 tests successfully:

 

 

 

By using the same timings and raising the frequency to 5200MHz, but with the voltage set at 1.25, we’ve got a perfectly stable system:

 

 

 

Moving on, we tried to increase the frequency to 5400MHz and, again, we have noted that the system was perfectly stable while using the 1.25 voltage:

 

 

 

When trying 5600MHz frequency we did hit a wall, the system refusing completely to boot!
