Overclocking
Disclaimer: Overclocking is never guaranteed, so the results may vary depending on certain conditions and various hardware configurations. I am not recommending overclocking if you do not know what you are doing. High voltages may damage hardware, and the warranty will not cover it.
The Crucial Pro memory series uses Micron IC, and the 128GB kit is no different. One more thing shared in the whole memory series is a Richtek PMIC. It’s the most popular PMIC used in all overclocking series memory kits. Most motherboards are well-prepared for this PMIC and allow us to use voltages higher than specified.
The tested memory kit worked fine at more than 1.4V VDD/VDDQ. However, it didn’t scale well past DDR5-6000, so I kept the relatively low 1.275V voltage and stabilized it at DDR5-6000 CL40.
Below is the 6000MT/s result.
The memory kit could run at 6400MT/s or slightly higher. However, because of the memory controller limitation for such high capacity, the 1:1 ratio couldn’t be stabilized above 6200MT/s. The 6400MT/s couldn’t even post. It’s not the memory kit’s fault, as the AMD Ryzen behaves this way.
Tightening the timings was also a problem, and higher voltages were barely helping.
I highly doubt anyone buying a 128GB memory kit thinks of beating world records, so most users will use the EXPO or XMP profiles and enjoy completely stable high-capacity RAM.
