I don’t know if anyone is still wondering whether to choose DDR4 or DDR5 memory. At least for now, the following picture can be used as a summary of the two generations of memory.

In fact, DDR5 memory is a bit unreasonable for us. The built-in ECC is not as powerful as the ECC on server memory in the traditional sense. It can only correct on-chip errors. In other words, the ECC function of this DDR5 universal version of memory has better support for overclocking.

So today we will use the combination of intel i7-13700K and MSI MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI motherboard with a set of XPG Longyao LANCER DDR5 5600 32G (16G*2) gaming RGB memory set to do a little Z790 memory overclocking operation. This MSI MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI motherboard, which we refer to as 790 Blade, adopts an absolute ATX large board design. The 6-layer PCB is added with 2 ounces of copper technology, and is supplemented by a silver-white heat sink that covers almost the entire motherboard. The color scheme is very exciting.

MSI 790 Blade motherboard has a very obvious improvement in CPU power supply. It has a 16+1+1 phase pure digital control CPU power supply scheme, 16-phase core power supply, each phase is equipped with an ISL 99390 90A DrMos chip, and the 1-phase RAA 22075R0 power supply capacity for the core display is 75A. The PWM chip is RAA 229132; the AUX power supply is also 1 phase. This kind of power supply will definitely make Shisanxiang feel at ease.

The picture shows the weighing of the MOS heat sink of the 790 Blade motherboard removed. It is equipped with two ultra-thick aluminum heat sink blocks, connected through an heat pipe , so that the heat dissipation balance of the overall power supply is guaranteed. The heat dissipation module weighs nearly 1 kilogram and comes with an ARGB lighting effect board.

Blade is equipped with four memory slots, supporting dual-channel DDR5 memory. It supports a maximum memory capacity expansion of 64GB in a single slot, and can even support the jaw-dropping manual 11000MHz. The memory frequency of is supported by . Of course, if DDR5 can really reach 11000MHz now, the price of such a high-frequency memory should be unaffordable, and this is precisely our ultimate goal of overclocking with this time. We use XPG Longyao LANCER DDR5 5600 32G (16G*2) gaming RGB memory set and XPG Longyao Caster DDR5 6400 16G×2 Take the RGB gaming memory stick as an example. You can easily save 800

790 blade motherboard. In addition to its powerful memory expansion capabilities, the Blade motherboard also has three PCIe expansion slots and 5 M.2 slots. The slots are equipped with metal heat dissipation armor, which can help solid state drives dissipate heat and make their operation more stable. The top heat dissipation armor supports the unique screw-free heat dissipation armor design of MSI . The heat dissipation armor can be easily removed by turning the buckle on the top, and then the solid state drive can be easily replaced through the M.2 fixed buckle. The main PCIe slot has reinforced solder joints and metal shielding, which further improves the load-bearing capacity of the Z790 Blade motherboard.

XPG, a high-end e-sports brand owned by ADATA , launches Longyao LANCER RGB series DDR5 memory. XPG Longyao LANCER RGB series currently provides two frequencies of 5200/5600/6000MHz, corresponding to three timings of CL38/CL39/CL40. The one we got is the 5600MHz version. The

5600M version has increased bandwidth, allowing more and more CPU cores of the platform to be allocated more bandwidth, and a faster starting speed of 4800MHz than the previous generation. Together with the built-in PMIC and ECC functions, it can make LANCER DDR5 gaming memory faster and more stable.

The version we got is the ARGB lighting effect version, which combines cool lighting effects with XPG e-sports genes. At the same time, it adopts a cutting and splicing design, which makes the overall appearance more three-dimensional. The ultra-thick pure aluminum heat dissipation vest makes overclocking more stable.

790 Blade's dual super capabilities are definitely worthy of recognition. We easily set the main frequency of 13700K to 1.24V and the full-core 5.2GHz. In fact, I found that the 13700K at this time was very docile.In the Blade's BIOS OC options, The frequency of 32G memory has been increased from 5600MHz to 6400MHz, so 6400MHz is also selected in the Mem Try It option.

three benchmark tests, CPU-z achieved the best results From single-core 846.5 multi-core 12152.7 at 5600 to single-core 846.2 multi-core 12159.6 at 6400, the difference is only between the same; and the results of AIDA64 are too obvious. From R86304 at 5600 W78722 C78672 L76.3ns jumped to R97214 at 6400 W84464 C86679 L74.0ns; the score in CinebenchR23 increased from 29149 at 5600 to 29527 at 6400.

There is almost no difference in the performance in the game, 256/39473 at 5600, and 260/39786 at 6400. I always feel that the difference is not very big.

ADATA XPG Lancer memory shows good overclocking capabilities. In addition to the high quality of the memory itself, the excellent and stable power supply of the MSI Z790 Blade are important guarantees for successful overclocking. I saved 800 yuan with just a few moves of my fingers, and I was ecstatic.
