Lexar Wings of War ARES RGB DDR5 8000 memory experience: the first Hynix particle certified memory, stable performance exceeding 8000MT/s

Currently, the most mainstream memory specifications in the installed base are usually between DDR5 6000MHz-6400MHz. Everyone’s pursuit of ultimate performance is often in the processor and graphics card. For ultra-high-speed flagship memory such as 7600MT/s and 8000MT/s, Many people feel that the performance improvement is limited, so the priority should be lower.

In addition, the high price is also one of the reasons why players are not willing to buy. For example, the average price of memory with a 7600MT/s speed is more than 1,499 yuan, and that of 8000MT/s is about 2,000 yuan. However, the Ares Wings ARES RGB DDR5 8000 memory we are going to talk about today is not ordinary. It comes from the storage brand Lexar. It not only uses Hynix A-Die particles and supports RGB heat dissipation armor, but also has a lower price. After that, the 7600MT/s rate is only 1299 yuan, and the 8000MT/s rate is only 1499 yuan. The sincerity is in place. We are also curious about what kind of performance improvement the 8000MT/s rate can bring, so we might as well take this opportunity to test it.

Packaging design

The Lexar Wings of War ARES RGB DDR5 8000 memory package is very thick, and the overall design is a rectangular color box. There is an eye-catching "big gold label" printed on the upper right corner of the front of the package. If you look closely, it turns out to be exclusive. Hynix particle certification mark, compared to the statement of strict selection and special selection, with this certification, the use of original particles will be more reliable. Opening the outermost envelope, a bright red packaging box comes into view, with Lexar’s logo printed on the front, which looks quite noble. Open the top cover of the red packaging box, and you will see two plastic-covered memories lying quietly inside the package. There is a circle of black cushioning foam around and at the bottom, and there is also a large piece of impressive stuff on the top cover of the box. Cushioned foam, packed with great care. Take out the memory body. Lexar Wings ARES RGB DDR5 8000 memory is wrapped with a thick 1.8mm all-aluminum heat dissipation vest on both sides. It feels heavy in the hand. The black tone is matched with the acrylic soft light on the top of the memory. The cover, white translucent decorative pattern, and white brand logo are both monotonous and layered. In terms of size, the dimensions of Lexar Wings ARES RGB DDR5 8000 memory are 133.3*51.9*8mm, and the installation compatibility is quite good. What we got this time is a DDR5 32GB (16GB×2) 8000MHz strip. According to the official introduction, the cooling vest is also equipped with an exclusive PMIC thermal pad, a 10-layer customized PCB, and the cable layout of the PCB part is optimized. It can bring better electrical performance, transmission efficiency and heat dissipation performance, and also supports real-time temperature monitoring, which can improve the safety and stability of overclocking. Lexar Wings ARES RGB DDR5 8000 memory is also equipped with 8 high-brightness LED lamp beads, supporting up to 13 medium lighting modes, 16.8 million colors to choose from, and also supports the lighting synchronization function of mainstream motherboard products, which can Easily play with custom lighting effects. After getting on the machine, you can see that Lexar Wings ARES RGB DDR5 8000 memory not only has smooth and soft lighting effects, but also has very good brightness uniformity performance. It can provide excellent RGB when placed in the chassis Colorful lighting effects enhance the lighting atmosphere inside the chassis.

Memory information

The Lexar Wings ARES RGB DDR5 8000 memory we got this time is the 8000MT/s frequency version. The official standard timing is CL38-48-48-100 and the voltage requirement is 1.45V. We first read its memory particle information through Thaiphoon Bunner software. In the manufacturer column, it says ShenZhen Longsys Electronics Co.Ltd, which is Shenzhen Longsys Electronics Co., Ltd. The memory particle is Hynix, but the memory number is not read completely, so it is displayed as 1 Die particle. As you can see from the memory SPD information that comes with the ROG MAXIMUS Z790 APEX ENCORE motherboard, its single memory size is 16GB and supports Intel XMP 3.0 technology.

Memory Overclocking

For this overclocking part, we chose the i9-13900K processor, which has the best overclocking performance at present. As for the motherboard, the two motherboards specified in the memory compatibility list on the official product promotion page are both ROG. APEX series, so we also directly selected the ROG MAXIMUS Z790 APEX ENCORE motherboard for testing to achieve the best operating results. Before overclocking, the default memory frequency of Lexar Wings ARES RGB DDR5 8000 memory after being installed on the machine is 4800MHz. We ran the AIDA64 memory benchmark test. At this time, the memory reading, writing and copying scores were all the same. Above 70GB/s, which is a normal level, the memory latency is 89.1ns and the L3 cache latency is 17.7ns. This time we need to exceed 8000MHz at one time. I am still a little nervous, but unexpectedly, after restarting the computer and entering the BIOS page of the ROG MAXIMUS Z790 APEX ENCORE motherboard, I just turn on the motherboard in easy mode. XMP automatic overclocking option, the frequency directly becomes 8000MHz without any other changes. However, to be on the safe side, I adjusted the memory frequency division option to Gear 2 mode to improve the stability of the memory after overclocking. After restarting, it lit up once, and then I directly opened AIDA64 for benchmark testing, and the process was very smooth. In the memory timing column, it is clearly written that the current timing is 38-48-48-100 CR2, which is much lower than the memory timing of other brands (40-52-52-131 CR2) that we have manually overclocked to 8000MHz before. If the subsequent memory stability test and game test can pass, it means that Lexar’s Hynix particle certification is indeed valuable. In terms of memory speed, after overclocking to 8000MHz, its read, write and copy speeds are significantly improved. The read and write speeds exceed 120GB/s, the copy speed is also 117GB/s, and the memory latency is within 60ns, which is very rare. Because the other D5 memories we tested before were overclocked manually to 8266MHz, the memory latency was also above 60ns. L3 cache latency also dropped further to 16.9ns. Then we open the TestMem5 software for stability testing. Here we introduce a third-party test script and run 19 cycles, which takes 1 hour and 56 minutes. You can see that the Error(s) column is still empty at this time, that is 0 errors reported, the stability performance is very good. Then we used the MemTest64 memory stability test tool to retest its stability performance. After it was turned on, the default round of test results showed no errors. Then we switched the Run indefinitely option to Stop after loops, manually changed it to 15 rounds of loops, ran it 5 times for almost an hour, and finally passed the test successfully. This shows that Lexar Wings ARES RGB DDR5 8000 memory can stably run up to 8000MHz frequency under low timing and XMP3.0 automatic overclocking, without the need for users to set up cumbersome memory parameters, and the overall performance is excellent. Of course, the 8000MHz/s frequency is not its overclocking limit. After some attempts in the BIOS, we finally further exceeded the memory frequency at such a low timing as (36-48-48-56 CR2) 8400MHz, the voltage at this time is set to 1.56V, and the running score is as shown in the figure. The memory delay improvement this time is very obvious, directly dropping from 59ns to 53ns. In terms of stability, we still use TestMem5 for testing. After directly opening the software and automatically running 3 rounds of memory stability cycles, the Error (s) column is empty and no error is reported. Lexar Wings of War God ARES RGB DDR5 8000 memory Passed the test successfully. Anyway, this overclocking performance is quite good.

Performance comparison

In order to more specifically demonstrate the experience of Lexar Wings ARES RGB DDR5 8000 memory in actual use, as well as the performance improvement of 8000MHz ultra-high frequency, we also conducted some games, productivity and temperature aspects actual measurement. The reference group is divided into 2 groups: 4800MHz silent frequency and XMP 8000MHz overclocking. First is the game. For the first one, we chose "CS2" which is very CPU and memory intensive. After entering the game, we selected 1080P resolution + default high quality and played a game. The average frame rate of the game was at 4800MHz memory frequency. is 350 frames, and 1% Low frame is 139 frames. At the 8000MHz memory frequency, the average frame number of the game increased to 387 frames, the frame number increased by more than 10%, and the 1% Low frame rate also reached 165 frames, an increase of 26 frames compared to before, making the game experience smoother and smoother. . After switching to 4K resolution, the average number of frames of the game at 4800MHz memory frequency is 283 frames, and the 1% Low frame rate is 119 frames. At the 8000MHz memory frequency, the average number of frames in the game increased to 308 frames, an increase of 8%, and the 1% low frame increased to l45 frames, which was also a significant improvement. For online competitive games like "CS2" that value memory performance, the increase in memory frequency has an obvious impact on game performance. The second game "Shadow of the Tomb Raider", after entering the game, select 1080P resolution + the highest image quality, run the benchmark test that comes with the game, the average number of frames in the game is 290 frames at 4800MHz memory frequency, 1 % Low frame is 203 frames. At the 8000MHz memory frequency, the average frame number of the game increased to 322 frames, an increase of 11%, and the 1% Low frame rate also reached 232 frames, an increase of 29 frames compared to before. The third game is "Forza Horizon 5". Its optimization is very good. After entering the game, select 1080P resolution + extreme image quality, run the game's own benchmark test, and the average frame of the game is at 4800MHz memory frequency. The number is 288 frames, and the 1% Low frame is 225 frames. At the 8000MHz memory frequency, the average frame number of the game increased to 294 frames, a frame rate increase of 2%, and the 1% Low frame rate was 231 frames, an increase of 6 frames compared to before. Judging from the actual performance of the above three games, whether it is online competitive games or 3A games, whether it is the average number of game frames or 1% Low frames, the 8000MHz memory frequency has been improved to varying degrees compared to the 4800MHz memory frequency. In addition, we also tested the memory surface temperature during AIDA64 memory benchmarking through temperature measurement equipment. Each game was measured once, and the highest value among the four times was taken. The temperature measurement equipment selected local temperature measurement in professional mode. , try to reduce the test error. Among them, the maximum temperature of the memory surface during the AIDA64 benchmark was 49.8 degrees, and the average temperature was 44.5 degrees. In the sensor page that comes with AIDA64, the core temperatures of the two memories are both 60 degrees. In general, the memory temperature benefits from the aluminum-magnesium used in Lexar Wings of War ARES RGB DDR5 8000 memory. The alloy heat dissipation vest and PMIC's exclusive thermal conductive silicone grease gasket perform very well in terms of memory core temperature and surface temperature.
