Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-5000 MHz CL18 2x 8 GB

I'm curious as to which Intel mobo was tested that failed to hit the 5GT/s RAM clock. I know the MSI mini-ITX Z390 is really good for high mem speeds.

Why test this on AMD? Intel should actually show some synthetic gains, right?

This kit is only guaranteed to run at rated speed/timings on AMD systems due to ability to unlink UCLK and FCLK.

Yes, but as the review demonstrates, it is completely pointless. Only an insane person would by that kit for an AMD system. On Intel it would actually do something, even if you had to lower the clock speed.

Buuuuuuuuuuuut, Intel can run it too... regardless, assuming the IMC/board can handle it...

(that said, I couldn't care less what it was run on, lol)

It would? If it is more, I wouldn't bet much at all...

"The markings on the ICs seem to be Corsair specific, although Thaiphoon shows that these are Micron chips."

These are Spectek markings, not Corsair. Spectek is a part of the Micron corporation so it's clear they can share IC under any brand.
I'm not sure if this IC is a B-die but it looks different than the E-die. It's scaling about the same but also new B-die are scaling in the same way.

Signed in for the first time in ages to point out the SpecTek IC's! +1

Why ram absolutely needs led does not open up to me :thumbs down

No RGB seems like a plus to me

What if we test this again on newer hardware like 5800X3D or intel 12th gen and up and see if the is any performance uplifts?
