Getting a secondary set of the Crucial Pro Overclocking 32GB kit is recommended in case you need more RAM for special applications such as multiple virtual machines, video editing, working with large databases and so on. The 4-module configuration runs just fine without extra voltage increases and we were quite amazed to see that these perform in some cases even better than the regular 2x16GB setup.
CPU: Intel i7-13700K @ Stock
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Silent Loop 2 360mm AIO
Motherboard: BIOSTAR Z790 VALKYRIE LGA1700
RAM: currently tested kit
Video: XFX Radeon 7900 XT
Power Supply: Cooler Master 850W
SSD: Silicon Power US70 1TB PCIe 4.0
Case: Cooler Master ATCS 840
The pre-programmed timings and frequencies can be also found by using AIDA64; the DRAM IC manufacturer is listed as Micron:
The modules are preloaded with no less than four profiles, two XMP 3.0 and two EXPO. The first XMP 3.0 profile is rated for DDR5-6000, with an operating voltage of 1.35V, while the default profile is set at 36-38-38-80; the secondary XMP profile is thought to offer extra compatibility, with the speed of DDR5-5600, timings of 36-38-38-80 and an operating voltage of 1.25V. The EXPO profiles come with the same settings as the XMP ones, including the operating voltages.
We did first start testing this kit on our BIOSTAR Z790 VALKYRIE LGA1700 and the stability at stock speeds and had no stability issues.
Overclocking stage was next, which implied raising the frequency to 6200MHz, while maintaining the stock timings and voltages. Unlike the 2x16GB setup, this resulted in in unstable system:
