Introduction: I bought this memory stick
last year. I actually bought two of them at that time and planned to form dual-channel . But when paying, I feel that the price should be reduced (how many people are like this? You can raise your hand! Buy up or not, this is the case). In addition, its reputation was not very good at that time, and there were compatibility issues such as Intel special strips, which were called garbage memory by some netizens, so one of them was not paid. Now it seems that sometimes I really can't trust online comments too much.
After receiving the product, the memory stick was thrown aside because there was a major change at home. Recently, I suddenly saw a lot of news about this memory online, and there were also cases of price increases being snatched up. It seems that the garbage memory that many people disliked last year has become a hot commodity as the memory stick price rises.
Some netizens just asked if this memory stick is good or not, is it really garbage? Then I'll take a test.

packaging box is very simple, it doesn’t look like a high-end product, similar to that kind of miscellaneous bars.
In terms of packaging, it can be seen that it saves energy and is not very attentive, or does not want to invest too much cost. But as the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Buddha rely on gold. With this kind of packaging, I think it will definitely discourage many potential users. It doesn't cost much to get a better packaging. Anyway, this packaging made me think of the packaging when I bought AMD special miscellaneous brand bars a few years ago, and the complete work-pack packaging.
But is cool beast a miscellaneous brand? Of course the answer is not. Let me popularize it. Cool Beast is a brand under Jiahe Jinwei. Its nature is the same as Guangwei and Asgart, and both belong to Jiahe Jinwei. Among them, the more famous one is Guangwei, which is the famous fishing rod factory. We can understand Cool Beast’s product as a beggar version product, just like the Mingxuan graphics card.
Open the package and you can see a memory stick and a manual. In the
instruction manual, it is clearly stated that this cool beast's memory stick is a lifetime warranty.
This memory stick is double-sided, with eight particles on each side, and the capacity of each particle is 1GB.
memory capacity is 16GB, frequency is 2666MHz, timing is CL19-19-19-43, voltage is 1.2V.
particles are SEC 843, needless to say, this is Samsung particles.
First line: "SEC 843" Important information is that 843 represents the memory particle production date, that is, the particles of 2018 years and 43 weeks.
second line: "K4A8G04" important information is that 8G04 represents the memory particle capacity and bit width - 8Gb 4-bit particles. (The 4-bit generation refers to server particles. The batch I used is Samsung server particles.)
The third line: "5WC BCRC" is C and RC, and C represents the particle version is C-DIE. RC represents memory frequency and timing. Generally speaking, TD is 2666 C19, RC is 2400 C17, and PB is 2133 C15.
, but the memory stick timing marked in my hand is 2666 C19, which means that the manufacturer has modified the timing and other information. Judging from the particles, it is actually 2400 C17, but now 2666 seems to be a little better, so it is normal for the manufacturer to modify it.
Samsung's currently known particles: A-DIE (16Gb, 32Gb), B-DIE (8Gb, 16Gb), C-DIE (8Gb), D-DIE (4Gb, 8Gb), E-DIE (4Gb), F-DIE (4Gb), M-DIE (16Gb), S-DIE (4Gb, 8Gb), T-DIE (4Gb).
test platform display.
The platform information given by Master Lu is considered a mainstream configuration.
Cool Beast's memory information. The memory particle information measured by the typhoon software is basically consistent with the information analyzed by the encoding on the memory particle, that is, the Samsung C-DIE particle.
The score of the memory stick is displayed at the default frequency of 2666MHz and the default timing. Since it is a single channel, the results are much lower than those of ordinary dual channels. This should be key points to avoid making jokes.
In order to save time, I directly overtake the memory stick frequency to 3200MHz, with the timing of LC16-18-18-43.
You can see the performance of the memory stick, and it will definitely improve.
Next, fine-tune it. In the end, the frequency of this memory stick of Cool Sword can be stable at 3200MHz, and the timing is CL14-18-18-36. At this time, it can also pass the memory stick copying machine test smoothly. When the frequency of
is 3200MHz and the timing is CL14-18-18-36, the score of the Cool Beast memory stick is displayed.
As a low-end entry-level memory stick, it uses Samsung's server particles. Although overclocking has average potential (can't compare with kefu cjr and microscope c9bjz), the capacity and price are there, and the overall performance is pretty good. On the Intel platform, it can be used at a stable frequency of 3200MHz and the timing is CL14-18-18-36.
In my opinion, this price and performance really cannot be called garbage. Of course, what I am talking about is the price of 189 and 199. If it exceeds this price, it will not feel very good. It is said that the 16G version of 299's product has been changed to magnesium particles, rather than the previous Samsung server particles. The advantage is that it is fully compatible and there will be no problem of choosing a platform. The disadvantage is that the price is not very good.
summary:
1: How is the memory stick compatibility?
is normal on Intel's ninth-generation platform. Other platforms are not clear about, and the platforms are limited, so comprehensive testing cannot be done. The current online report is that it does not support APU platform, and the others are pretty good.
2: How about particles?
Samsung's server particle is a 4-bit Samsung C-DIE particle.
3: Are the particles second-hand?
I didn't see that it was second-hand particles, nor was it mixed particles. All particles were in the same batch, and the factory time was relatively close to now. There should be no one who will dismantle , the server memory that has only been used for about a year, to sell granules.
4: Can I overclock?
can be overclocked, not factory-free, and has a certain degree of playability.
5: Is it worth buying?
If you can find the price of 189 or 199, it will definitely be worth it, but give up on fantasy, there will definitely be no such price now. As for the fully compatible magnesium version with a price increase of 299, I don’t think it’s necessary, at least I won’t be moved.
