High Frequency and Low CL at the same time Origin code vortex DDR5 48 GB (24 GBx2) Memory Unboxing

Origin code is a brand new memory module brand from China, I only found out about it in September when I saw their press release, some foreign media said that the brand is registered in the same place as Biwin's US branch, and then I confirmed with the Taiwan agent that Origin code is indeed a sub-brand of Biwin's high-end gaming brand, with the same price/performance ratio as Biwin's mainstream brand. Biwin has a separate official website for its brand positioning, and this module was also purchased by a friend from China and lent to me for a while, I wonder why my rich friends around me didn't share some of their money with me.

Origin code's vortex DDR5 debut offers four specifications: 6200 MT/s CL26 32 GB (16 GB x 2), 6000 MT/s CL26 (Dual EXPO Profiles, P2: 8000 MT/s CL36) 48 GB (24 GB x 2), 6000 MT/s CL26 192 GB (48 GB x 4), 6000 MT/s CL30 256 GB (64 GB x 4). GB (48 GB x 4), 6000 MT/s CL30 256 GB (64 GB x 4), each of these specifications is very interesting and high-end, but what interests me the most is the 48 GB (24 GBx2) dual-channel module specification, which actually includes both 6000 CL26 & 8000 CL36 dual profiles.

This set of module writes both 8000 CL36 and 6000 CL26 profiles at the same time, so that SPD has both high frequency and low CL value specifications, which can satisfy different needs of users with one set of module, but the process of QVL / sales / production cell selection may be relatively troublesome, the author believes that it is a new way of implementation after the dual-mode of XMP / EXPO or the built-in spare low frequency profile. The author believes that this is a new way to implement memory modules after XMP/EXPO dual-mode or built-in spare low-frequency profile.

However, there is one thing that will discourage people, unlike the lifetime warranty of most module brands, Origin code's after-sales warranty is limited to the product lifecycle warranty, that is, the warranty is valid until the specification is discontinued EOL, there are gray areas in this rule, for example, after the original specification is discontinued, launching a new specification that maintains the same timing but with an increase or decrease in voltage, will this be "product lifecycle warranty" and not offer a warranty? Product Lifecycle Warranty" as a reason for not providing warranty? This part is according to the original manufacturer and the agent said forget it, in addition to the fan module warranty is 3 years.

The vortex DDR5 boasts that it is the world's first DDR5 memory module to incorporate an active triple-fan cooling system. I'm not sure if this has been done before or if it's been done by any of the smaller brands, but there's actually a Geil brand of DDR5 with an active cooling fan, and there's also the EVO V, which has a dual-fan active cooling system that also helps to dissipate the heat from the memory module.

The 4020 (40 x 40 x 20 mm) dual ball bearing triple fan module provides 22.5 CFM of airflow, and is secured by screwing into the locking holes on the memory heatsinks, but this increases the overall height of the unit, so be aware of the potential for interference in compact chassis, dual-tower air-cooling, and other installations where the height of the memory is a limitation.

Fan module requires a 4-Pin PWM power supply cable, it is a pity that there is no cable planning, so the actual installation will have a line placed there is a little ugly, look at the official website rendering of the picture I originally thought that the fan module frame will be metal, but the result is actually a plastic material psychological expectations of a little bit of a gap.

△ Active cooling module with three fans.

△ Diameter 4 cm.

It's a pity that the fan frame is made of plastic.

 

The size of the memory itself is 145.2 x 8.5 x 47.3 mm, the height of the heatsink itself is almost 47.3 mm high, it is recommended not to use with downdraft or dual-tower air-cooling to try to avoid compatibility issues, the aluminum alloy lens plated heatsink with theG.SKILL Royal HalberdThe style is similar and the features are the same: clean, beautiful, and prone to fingerprints and dust.

The vortex DDR5 48 GB (24 GBx2) comes with "two different profile specifications", which is not the case with other initial capacity specifications. Unlike the common way of writing Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO Profiles on the same specification, this specification has a second AMD EXPO Profile, and it's not the lower profile spare profile, but the 8000 CL36, which is also the higher profile. This specification has a second AMD EXPO Profile, and it is not the lower specification Spare Profile, but the 8000 CL36, which is also a higher specification.

This specification module writes 6000 MT/s CL26-36-36-76 1.45V (XMP 3.0, AMD EXPO 1 Profile) in SPD HUB and 8000 MT/s CL36-47-47-108 1.45V in AMD EXPO 2 Profile, both of which are very strong in terms of the current mass-produced and sold memory. Both specifications are very strong in terms of the current mass production memory module specification. In terms of the DDR5 that we have unboxed before, the 6000 CL26 hasGigi G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal Neo Royal Halberd EXPO Edition8000 CL36 has Kingston. Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB Limited EditionBoth are high performance products.

There is no official website for the product as of the time of writing and unboxing, so a lot of information can only be learned from the Chinese product page or the distributor's product page. The QVL serial number, as determined by the P/N on the back of the package, is OCL602648D-VS, and there is a motherboard compatibility list on the bottom of the Chinese product page, but through the P/N, we can randomly check a motherboard from each of the four major motherboard makers. The QVL compatibility list of each of the four major motherboard manufacturers was randomly checked through the P/N, and only two motherboards were verified with the 6000 CL26 specification, while none of the 8000 CL36 specification was verified.

According to the author's knowledge, board makers are often reluctant to accept a set of modules, but write two specifications of dual Profile verification, board makers usually hope that the memory QVL verification samples are a set of one specification to facilitate the management and verification process implementation, as to whether there will be a 6000 CL26 open up; 8000 CL36 can not open up the situation, it will become a space for discussion. As to whether 6000 CL26 can be opened; 8000 CL36 cannot be opened, it will become a discussion space.

The price of this set is about 11,000 NTD for the first launch in China, and at the beginning of the DDR5 price hike, there was not much change in the price of DDR5 from brand to brand, so 11K was considered super expensive, but now this set will cost about 14K if you buy it from China.

△ Actual installation demonstration.

The appearance of the heatsink is a matter of opinion, I still prefer the Royal Halberd, which looks a bit like Future Mach's Sugar Cube series of memory cooling vests.

The Origin code vortex DDR5 memory has RGB light bars and supports customizable lighting effects controlled by the board's lighting software.

△ Light bar top view effect, the lamp beads effect is full and not bad.

The side view is a bit like a water drop.

 

The integrated active triple-fan cooling system has four redundantly adjustable oval locking holes for both 4DIMM/2DIMM motherboards, but perhaps there would be better mounting adjustments if they were dug directly into a long, unsegmented oval?

However, in addition to the height of the installation needs to worry about the chassis mounting and heat sink installation space, but also need to take into account the shape of the processor heat sink itself, such as the following figureASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E APEX MotherboardWhen installed with the CM hexagonal water cooling head, the three-fan cooling system needs to be shifted to the right side, and it's a different story if the ROG DIMM.2 (ROG Q-DIMM.2 expansion card) can still be installed.

△ In addition to the height of the installation, the width of the side also needs to be paid attention to, there may be conflicts with other radiators need to be offset installation.

Intel Core Ultra 9 285K with GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE Platform DDR5 Memory Performance Test

See how this memory performs on Intel platforms with Intel Core Ultra 200S series processors that support DDR5 memory, using the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS TACHYON ICE To test the performance and overclocking capacity of the DDR5 memory module on hand, the motherboard BIOS was updated to version F5 for testing.

This memory test "does not enable the motherboard's memory score optimization settings" or manual overclocking adjustments, so as to present the performance of directly applying the memory profile, so that there will be no motherboard factors interfering with the results, and the motherboard's Gear mode and crossover mode are kept automatically for the motherboard to adjust, and of course, will not be turned off through the E-Core or the use of the Thin Overclocking version of the system to obtain the best scores. Of course, there is no need to disable E-Core or use a thinned down overclocked system to get the best results, but rather, the test is conducted purely on a normal Win11 system with the full default processor, which is more in line with the direct usage scenario.

What is the use of overclocking records? Introduction to HWBOT, the website for computer overclocking records

Before entering the memory frequency overclocking section, the author would like to talk to you about Overclocking overclocking. Some people may say: What's the use of overclocking? Some people may say, "What's the use of overclocking? It's useless if there's no game enhancement! The actual performance may not even be as good as the 6000 C30 if you overclock it now. How can you just post a frequency and be done with it?

OC overclocking is a tool, you can think of it as a mallet or a saw, etc. Tools can be used in work to hammer nails to fix things, or can be used to hammer metal to shape, but you haven't seen a carpenter scolding a goldsmith for using a mallet in that way, is it meaningless? Tools have many uses, and everyone uses them in different ways. Of course, they can also be used as weapons of offense, and overclocking can be used to increase performance or challenge your own records.

As for the challenge documentary type of overclocking, it is quite inappropriate to use the "performance enhancement thing to scrutinize". After all, you won't ask Olympic sprinters to run for you to buy groceries, and you will only recognize them if they are fast enough to buy groceries, right? You wouldn't ask a bodybuilder to lift hundreds of kilograms of barbells with no rest for 24 hours, would you? Overclocking is fun to challenge yourself or to improve your performance. The author hopes that more people in Taiwan will join the discussion on overclocking, instead of just pointlessly talking about "overclocking is useless now, there is no need for overclocking".

△ Gigabyte, one of the three major board makers, and Intel and Corsair were talking about overclocking in a recent documentary.

 

Let's talk about the overclocking record certification website HWBOT, which allows you to upload various overclocking records to achieve the ranking points system, and includes CPU, GPU, RAM, hard disk and other benchmark test records, most of the items are mainly focused on processor and graphics card tests, such as the familiar 3DMark or Cinebench related to dozens of items, and each item has its own rules and regulations. Each program has its own rules.

The one that I've been challenging more often recently is the Memory Frequency Hall Of Fame project, which is the same project that GIGABYTE HiCookie challenged in the video above.

Previously, someone asked me why my uploaded AM5 overclocking results do not have points, the main reason is that the author's highest record in the Memory Frequency Hall Of Fame project is the result of using the Z890, and the record of the AM5 has not exceeded the Z890, so I do not see the record of the AM5 in the list of the project, unless one day my A record exceeds the i record, I guess. Besides, the GLP (Global Rank) and HWP (DDR5 SDRAM Rank) audits seem to be manually reviewed by HWBOT staffs, and it seems that not every result has points.

△ Overclocking Record Website HWBOT.

△ There are many programs, there are different benchmark tests or frequency challenge programs for you to try, each program has its own rules, if you are interested in researching, you can click into the Rules link to take a look.

△ The Memory Frequency Hall Of Fame item about memory frequency needs to be verified by the CPU-Z verification file.

△ HWBOT individual related results.

△ If you think the frequency is nothing? In the performance test program AIDA64 - Memory Read Hall Of Fame, the author's World Record Rank is 5th.

 

Let's take a look at some hidden features, how to see the record results of a specific platform? First, enter HWBOT on your computer and look for the hardware record you are interested in, for example, I would like to look at the X870 AORUS TACHYON ICE The records, as well as the current Memory Frequency Hall Of Fame records for the entire AM5.

By searching, you can see how to use X870 AORUS TACHYON ICE Motherboards, the highest records obtained.

In addition to this I would like to see AM5's current memory frequency records on the X870 AORUS TACHYON ICE Scroll down the motherboard log page to find Memory Frequency and click on it.

△ Cut to AM5 on the Motherboard side, you can see all the memory frequency results of AM5, the disadvantage is that the same people repeatedly uploading results will not be filtered out, and then you can't directly cross-select the Z890 to switch directly to see, the author also found that if you look at it on your cell phone, there is no way to follow the process of clicking out and looking at it, you can only use your computer to do this selection.

 

Besides record uploading, HWBOT also organizes overclocking contests in various countries or cooperates with hardware brands to execute overclocking contests. For example, many people who don't know how to use computers, laughingly known as "Chips Ahoy", have cooperated with HWBOT to organize the OC World Cup overclocking contest for nine years. Or is it that those who leave comments do not know how to use computers and do not know how to overclock? The author is laughing but not saying anything.

HWBOT also organizes various online and offline overclocking contests.

Origin code vortex DDR5 48GB memory review summary and purchase recommendation

Origin code, the gaming overclocking sub-brand of Chinese memory module maker BIWIM, has come up with a very interesting way on the 48 GB (24 GBx2) specification of the vortex DDR5 debut, with two AMD EXPO profiles, 8000 CL36 and 6000 CL26, on a single module. You can decide whether you want to go for a lower CL value or a higher frequency.

The author has previously tested theIntel & AMD Dual-Platform DDR5 Memory Performance Measurements - High Frequency, Low CL ValueHowever, the high frequency and low CL value modules used by the author at that time were of different capacity, one was 3GB and the other was 2GB. This time, the same module was directly used to test on the Z890 platform, and the high frequency still maintains the same result, which means that choosing the high frequency specification is still the best way to have a better bandwidth performance and latency performance on the Intel platform.

 

Three fans of double ball bearing module in full speed operation, 8000 RPM rpm sound super loud, and no whole line planning after installation is a little embarrassing, but the temperature is really effective in reducing a lot.

The after-sales warranty is a "product life cycle warranty" strategy, which is quite controversial. If after half a year's sale, the original specification EOL is discontinued due to the absence of particles or change of voltage, does it reach the official so-called product life cycle? What will happen afterwards? This depends on the attitude of the distributor and the original manufacturer.
