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 XPOWER Storm is equipped with Hynix A-die IC and Richtek PMIC. It’s the most popular combination used in top overclocking series memory kits. Most motherboards are well-prepared for Richtek PMIC and allow us to use voltages higher than specified.
The tested memory kit worked fine at more than 1.45V VDD/VDDQ. However, it didn’t scale well past DDR5-7200, so I kept the 1.40V voltage and stabilized it at DDR5-6400 CL30.
Below is the 6400MT/s result, which can be further tuned.
Regardless of voltages, setting a stable CL28 at 6400MT/s was impossible. The only recommended alternative is DDR5-7600 CL34-45-45 1.45V, but most results will be close or slightly worse than 6400MT/s and 1:1 IMC ratio. In most cases, the 6000MT/s EXPO profile is still a great option.
