Installation and Configuration
We installed the AddGame Spider X5 RGB 32GB (2x16GB) 6400MHz Memory into our MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk Wifi Motherboard that is paired with an Intel 13900K processor. The RGB entered a default pattern that paired with the other RGB bling on our test rig.
By default, the modules load up the base timings described above which is PC5-38400 (4800MHz) at 40-39-39-77 however throwing the XMP and EXPO switch bumped it up to PC5-51200 (6400MHz) at timings of 38-38-38-76. We were able to boot into Windows 11 and start benchmarking without an issue.
Test Setup
We will be utilizing the MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk Wifi motherboard and the other based on Intel i9 13900K CPU. We will operate the Intel using the XMP profile and compare it to the Lexar ARES DDR 5 6000MHz memory that we looked at a few months back.
Overclocking
We started by boosting the voltage to 1.4V and escalated the memory clock until it did not post at 7000MHz. Dropping down to 6600MHz, we got into Windows and were stable until we fired up some games, to which we quickly crashed back to the desktop. We backed off the timings just a bit to 40-40-40-80 and found that we were stable enough to run the benches.
