From being unattainable when it was first launched, to being comfortable at present, DDR5 memory is already the first choice for most gamers. At present, the mainstream DDR5 memory particles on the market are mainly produced by Hynix, Samsung, Micron and other companies, among which Hynix's A-Die reputation is the best, and the overclocking performance is also the most powerful, which is the standard configuration of almost all high-end DDR5 memory.
This time, I bought the HOF PRO DDR5 set of Yingchi Hall of Fame, which not only prefers Hynix A-Die particles, but also has a very high appearance and reliable after-sales service of large manufacturers, especially the support for personal warranty and lifelong maintenance services, which really allows users to have no worries. In terms of capacity, I chose the 16G*2 package, which is 32G enough to cope with the use of mainstream triple-A games and all kinds of large-scale software, and the combination of 2 RAM is also easier to overclock, so as to further squeeze the performance of the memory. The HOF PRO DDR5 set of Shadowrun Hall of Fame provides four specifications: 7000MHz, 7200MHz, 7600MHz, and 8000MHz, all of which support X***0 technology, and comes with a through-type RGB light bar, which can easily allow you to build a light pollution host. If you have some knowledge of overclocking, you can consider starting with the most cost-effective 70000MHz socket like me, it has a factory timing of CL32-42-42-112, the default high-frequency performance of 7000, and the overclocking potential is also great, which can make you easily challenge higher frequencies, such a cheap and big bowl product, I believe everyone will like it.
The HOF Pro DDR5 package is positioned as a high-end memory series, and the packaging design is very luxurious, and the design of the white HOF logo is simple and atmospheric, and it is very high-end. On the front of the outer box, you can see the frequency of the memory DDR5-7000MHz, and the capacity of 32G (16*2).
On the back of the package, you can see the feature introduction and product information of the memory.
The unboxing process is similar to opening a jewelry box, and the memory modules are vertically displayed in the package, which is full of luxury. In addition to the 2 internal memory, the included accessory also provides a user guide and a warranty card.
The shape design of the memory is very simple, the lines are tough, the all-white heat dissipation armor is a standard rectangle, and the wingless design can be well adapted to various radiators, without worrying about interference with other radiators, and the through-type high-gloss trim on the side enhances the overall texture.
The thickness of the thermal armor is very considerable, and the white armor surface also adds electrophoresis technology, which has a delicate texture, and the crown logo of the classic HOF is also very recognizable.
The weight of a single 16g memory reaches 718 grams, the material is quite solid.
The top of the memory is set up with a through-type RGB light bar, built-in multiple sets of independent LED light emitting areas, which can display custom 16.8 million colors and support the RGB lighting effect system of major motherboard manufacturers, which is very rich in playability.
In this test, I used the MSI MPG Z790 Edge TI Max Blade Titanium motherboard, which is an upgraded version of the Z790 specially built by MSI for the 14th Gen Core processor, positioning the mid-to-high-end MPG series. Compared to the previous generation Z790, it has not only been upgraded to support PCIe 50 and the CPU is directly connected to the m. of the channel2 slots, added a fan power supply light extension cable and the corresponding expansion interface, the maximum memory support frequency has also been increased to DDR5-7800+ (OC), SATA interface increased to 8, and began to fully support WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 54 etc.
The CPU chooses the Intel14700K processor, the board continues the consistent high-configuration scheme in terms of power supply, not only the CPU power supply adopts 16+1+2 phase 70A intelligent power supply, DRMOS and titanium inductors, the VRM of the motherboard is also covered as a whole, and a 6mm heat pipe is built into the aluminum fins, which greatly improves the working stability.
The MSI MPG Z790 Edge Ti Max Blade Titanium supports four DDR5 memory slots in the same color with a two-way snap-on design. With dual-channel mode, the maximum capacity of a single memory can reach 48GB, and the maximum capacity of four slots can reach a staggering 192GB. With MSI's memory acceleration engine, it supports DDR5-7800+MHz(OC) frequencies, which greatly improves memory write speed and latency.
In order to optimize the overclocking effect, I installed DIMM2,4 slots here, which is also an important reason why I chose the 16g*2 set. After installing the memory, the flat memory armor had no effect on the choice of heatsink. The white suit can also better take into account the color of your console, whether it is all-white or black and white, it can form a good effect.
When the memory is lit, the top light bar can provide 16.8 million RGB lighting effects, and with the MSI Center management center of the MSI 790Edge motherboard, it is easy to create a personalized color theme. The brightness performance of the top light bar is quite good, and with the thick metal texture of the heat dissipation armor, the overall appearance is quite good.
The boot frequency of my HOF DDR5 memory is 4800MHz, which is already the top performance of the previous generation D4 even in the silent frequency state.
The memory fully supports x***0, and the 7000MHz provided in the XMP profile can be directly retrieved to improve the official announcement speed. The MSI 790 Edge Max's XMP overclocking operation is also very simple, and the XMP1 solution corresponding to the memory module on the left can be automatically overclocked.
After overclocking, I entered the system again, and I can see that at this time, the HOF DDR5 memory of the Shadow Hall of Fame has been running smoothly at the level of 7000MHz, and the ultra-low timing of CL32-42-42-112 is also quite satisfactory.
In the memory test, the read and write speed of this set of Shadowrun Hall of Fame HOF DDR5 memory remained at 10393GB S, 92113MB S, Latency 679ns。
With powerful memory and motherboards, overclocking is definitely something to try, and squeezing out the residual value of memory is a must-have quality for every gamer. MSI's BIOS also offers a very useful one-click overclocking menu in Memory Try It!Use them to see how much potential you can tap into your memory.
Out of trust in A-Die particles, I tried to challenge 7600MHz for the first time, and without adjusting the voltage, I succeeded directly at the first time, which is very good.
At 7600MHz, the read and write of the memory has been greatly improved, reaching 11925gb/s，115.38mb s, latency 589ns。If you follow the official sales pricing strategy of higher speed, more expensive**, the value of this set of memories has almost doubled, and it is now very good value.
The further challenge of 7800MHz was successful, and finally I even stood on the threshold of 8000MHz and could still enter the system. At this point, the voltage increases to 145V, other small parameters have not been moved, there is actually a little margin for operation here, if you have time, you can try more optimized settings.
At 8000MHz, the timing of the HOF DDR5 HF sleeve is CL40-47-47-128.
And it was able to successfully complete the test, and the reading and writing performance was further improved, reaching 12417GB s and 12080GB s, and surprisingly, the CL40 latency has not changed much, reaching 585ns。At this time, the system is still quite stable, and there are no accidents after playing a game of lol, which seems to be at ease, and it seems that there is still room for excavation.
At present, I am quite satisfied with the memory of the Shadow Hall of Fame HOF DDR5 high-frequency sleeve, the simple shape design, and the through-type light bar are really very attractive in appearance. The iconic Hof crown logo is also very recognizable, and the Hynix A-Die particles used in terms of performance are indeed very strong, so it can be said that if I want, I can spend 7000MHz** to enjoy the 8000MHz experience, and the harvest and satisfaction are directly bursting. The thick thermal armor provides excellent heat dissipation performance during operation, escorting the stable operation of the system. The capacity of 16g*2 also meets the needs of my daily games and office, such a cheap and large bowl choice, don't you want to either?!
