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 are you doing. High voltages may damage hardware and it will not be covered by warranty.
We managed to overclock the memory modules to DDR4-4266 @ 1.45V. I just bumped up the speed and increased the DRAM voltage. Simple!
Verdict and Conclusion
These memory modules are a bunch of only a few, that could run at DDR4-4000 straight out of the box. Insert them in to the DIMM slots of a compatible motherboard, go to the BIOS, and just select/enable XMP and that’s it!
