Some of our readers already expect that we can find well-known Hynix A-die IC under the heatsinks. Only the best performing and highest frequency memory kits have this IC, but recently, we can say that all 6800MT/s or higher memory modules use it in 16GB capacity. The main difference is IC binning, as some ICs run at worse timings or voltages. The difference is also in used PCBs as 10-layer modules (like the tested Predator memory) are usually easier to stabilize at higher frequencies or very tight timings.
The Predator Hermes memory looks like a perfect option for overclockers. About that, we will tell you some more on the next pages of this review.
Hermes DDR5-6800 memory kit has one XMP profile at DDR5-6800 and primary timings of 32-45-45-108. The profile has a programmed voltage of 1.40V VDD/VDDQ, which is quite low for specified settings.
Below is a whole timings list that reads ASUS Mem TweakIt software.
The tested memory kit has no problems with stability or XMP compatibility on ASUS or ASRock motherboards with AMD X670E, AMD B650E, and Intel Z790 chipsets. It’s not officially designed for AMD motherboards, but there is a high chance it will work, like we had with our motherboards. Because of the IF/IMC ratios, we may keep lower RAM frequencies on AMD chipsets for the best performance. In this case, we can easily tighten the timings even more.
Below is a screenshot from the AIDA64 System Stability Test. As you can see, there are no problems with stability. The memory kit passed multiple other tests, so there was no need to keep the stability test for much longer.
So far, so good. Now, let’s take a look at the product itself.
