V-Color Skywalker Ram

[ToneStar]

Anyone have any experience with this ram?  I know it is pretty much unheard of but wonder if anyone here has used it, seeing how there are only 3 ram manufacturers I don't see much risk in buying it.

 

Has a lifetime warranty and I can just return it if it doesn't work properly.

 

I bough 2 sets of this off of newegg for my Ryzen 2700x, hoping that it lets me clock it to at least 3200mhz.

I hate to say this, but I'm not hopeful.

That is ok I will just return it if it doesn't work.  Honestly not hopeful of any memory in it, it seems like a really common issue.

You'd probably do better with a 2x16GB kit.  It eliminates some of the variables for motherboard RAM topology.

I tried my current 3000mhz that have low latency and use samsung memory individually and neither of them wanted to work much more than 2133mhz, upping the voltages, raising the timings etc.  I got them working at 2400 and 2666 for short periods of time together and individually.

I want 32 gbs for what I do with work.  I use 6 gbs as cache with primo cache then I am running a docker server, php storm, photoshop, outlook, skype, firefox, slack, etc at once and get usages of over 20 gigs at times not counting the cache.

Ram is running at 3600 and the latencys advertised without any tweaking to the voltage.  Seems nice so far.  Tried upping the speed some and it reset it but at least its at that speed so far, will do some more testing over the weekend but for Ryzen users I have to recommend it so far, especially for that price.

Instead of upping the speed, try to optimize the timings using Ryzen calculator, that'll help a little bit with performance.

Any more successes to report?

I got it running at 3666 with stock timings and 1.4 volt but haven't been able to get the timings lower.

 

Still good for the money, 3200 or 3400 with real low timings might be faster or 3600 with 16 or 17 timings would be. But that is probably equal to about 3400 ram with 16.

 

I got it to boot and work a little 3733 mhz and 17 for the latency at 3600 but had crashes not sure if its from the ram or the cpu i was kind of overclocking them both at the time.  Ill see if i can get it a little higher.
