Acer is back, ready for another round in the highly competitive DDR4 market. Under the Predator branding comes forth the Vesta RGB series, with new looks targeting the eSports gaming market. This 32 GB memory kit has an XMP profile of 3600 MT/s while rocking low primary timings of 14-15-15-35 using the infamous Samsung-B Die. Join me as we take a close look, to see what all the fuss is about.

Yeah its just on auto. Only the primary timings was played with for a quick test. Also for people who just copy the values.

I lost both overclock data, so I just did the Intel one quick for the review.. I have no idea where the data and screeneshots went. Better than nothing I guess.

I was just looking at going from my 2x8 to 2x16 just because, why not? Stuff is so cheap. This RAM (CAS14 at any clock) seems to be only good for winning benchmarks. Where can anyone justify spending $250 on this stuff when you can lose a whole 2-5fps and keep 2/3 of your money?

@ir_cow what was the IF running at for the high speed AMD kits in this review? It's not listed in the test setup but i'm pretty sure even you didnt get DDR4 5066 at 1:1

No way it was 1:1. I think my 5800X tops out at 4133 with enough voltage. Realistically it's just 4000 like everyone else.

The G.Skill 5066 was Gear 2 with IF of 1900 or 2000. Can't remember honestly.

Did I label it wrong? Only 5066 two kits I have can do 5066. Both binned for that already.

I have only seen ZEN APUs manage over 5000 1:1. even higher MCLK un-synced!

My ZEN 3 CPUs max out around 2100 FCLK 1:1 This is SR Micron Rev B IC (C9BLJ)
