Pushing for Speed

With testing out of the way, I endeavored to see if these sticks had any headroom. For Intel, I leave all settings at their XMP defaults and then increase the frequency until the system loses stability.

I was not able to increase the clock speed for the HyperX Fury beyond XMP.


For AMD overclocking, I follow the same procedure as with Intel to find the maximum possible frequency with XMP timings. Next, I set the frequency to 3600 MHz and use DRAM Calculator for Ryzen to optimize the timings. I then bench each setting with AIDA64 to showcase what kind of benefits you can expect from each. I also included the default (non-XMP) settings as a base reference point.


I was able to get 3800 MHz out of the HyperX Fury on my MEG X570 ACE with the XMP default timings. I did not have much luck tightening the timings though. Even the "Safe" preset for Micron E-die was not stable.

Looking at the graphs, there is no benefit to overclocking the frequency of this kit past XMP settings, at least for use with Ryzen systems.
