With DDR5 just around the corner and ready to steal the limelight, we thought it would be a good opportunity for us to look at a few different DDR4 kits with a variety of different operating specifications. We have mainstream, flashy bling, and uber-high-frequency kits from Corsair, G.SKILL, Kingston, PNY, and Predator.

As is clear, the majority of our samples run at 3600MHz. This has emerged as the new go-to option for DDR4 memory, especially with the beneficial tie-in frequencies on the AMD platform.

We will be testing these sets on our usual go-to AMD Ryzen 9 5950X test system, but also with a keen eye on which kits may perform well as partners for DDR4-equipped Intel 12^th Gen Alder Lake motherboards.

Let’s take a closer look…
