Teamgroup has been offering some of the fastest memory modules for the platform with the T-Force DELTA DDR5 kits almost since the launch of Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs. At least on paper, other manufacturers have recently introduced even faster kits, but XMP specifications are not everything, as we know. Today, we will take another close look at [...]

SK Hynix 16 Gbit M-Die is known to be the holy grail in terms of DDR5 overclocking, at least at time of writing. The prices for the fastest kits with clock rates in the XMP profile of over 6000 Mbps are still quite expensive. However, if you dare to work on the clock and timings of the RAM yourself anyway, cheaper kits with the same ICs are an [...]
There have been several Black Editions or Extreme Editions at Intel in the past, but Grey Editions? This marks the strict exclusivity for the Chinese market, at least in the case of the i5-12490F CPU. The grey sheep in Intel’s Alder Lake product family is thus a real rarity in the western market, and that alone is reason enough for me to do [...]
Today we continue with our Z690 motherboard reviews, with the Asus Maximus Z690 Apex. Not only the naming convention has changed compared to the predecessor models, because besides DDR5, PCIe 5.0 and the LGA1700 socket, there are unfortunately also a few teething troubles that I would like to address in advance, if not have to. Preface: Silicon [...]
Today we’re looking at the next high-performance upgrade level of DDR5 memory, in the form of the ADATA XPG LANCER RGB DDR5-6000 CL40 2x 16 GB kit. Our sample is based on the SK Hynix M-Die memory chips, which currently offer the highest performance and overclocking potential for DDR5. Even though the XMP profile looks rather unsuspicious [...]
The new memory controller with DDR5 support is known to be one of the biggest changes in the 12th generation Intel Core CPUs. But DDR4 is also still supported – assuming an appropriate motherboard – and there have been some changes under the hood here as well. Perfect conditions to let Comet Lake, Rocket Lake and Alder Lake compete [...]
The MEG Z590 Unify-X is the last, but also the cheapest XOC 2-DIMM motherboard that finally made it to us for review. MSI also wants to target professional overclockers and enthusiasts who want to get the maximum performance out of their Rocket Lake CPU at all costs, be it for benchmarking competitions or just daily gaming. Now let’s take a [...]

Gigabyte’s Z590 Aorus Tachyon, unlike many other Rocket Lake XOC (Extreme Overclocking) motherboards, has been available virtually since the platform’s launch, albeit in fairly limited quantities. A 2-DIMM topology optimized for RAM overclocking, ample power supply and OC features en masse are supposed to squeeze out the absolute [...]
