Sabrent Rocket 64GB (4x16GB) 4800MHz DDR5 Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2022-07-12

While operating with two Rocket DDR5 modules of 16GB each, each running overclocked at 6000MHz it was quite an easy and straightforward task, we cannot say the same when all four slots are populated. In compatibility mode, as Intel recommends on the Z690 platform, 4000MHz is guaranteed and this is the speed the 64GB kit operates with in automatic mode. For running at 4800MHz, we needed a bit of extra voltage tweaking concerning VSA, VDDQ and VDD2 but in the end we could validate stability with TM5 and all benchmarks we ran afterwards have completed without any errors.

While operating with two Rocket DDR5 modules of 16GB each, each running overclocked at 6000MHz it was quite an easy and straightforward task, we cannot say the same when all four slots are populated. In compatibility mode, as Intel recommends on the Z690 platform, 4000MHz is guaranteed and this is the speed the 64GB kit operates with in automatic mode. For running at 4800MHz, we needed a bit of extra voltage tweaking concerning VSA, VDDQ and VDD2 but in the end we could validate stability with TM5 and all benchmarks we ran afterwards have completed without any errors.

 

We have tested all sticks separately and confirmed that these could do 6000MHz at 1.25V with 40-40-40-76 timings, but we hit a hard wall when we tried 5200MHz with four modules installed; depending on the motherboard, your experience may be different, but in any case, if you need more capacity than 32GB and high speeds, we recommend going for a 2x32GB kit instead. Pumping more voltage in terms of the memory controller will in the end reduce the life expectancy of the CPU, a detail we are not particularly happy with.
