Overclockers UK on Wednesday announced that it will exclusively sell Avexir Platinum DDR4 memory modules in the U.K. Caseking will exclusively sell such memory modules in mainland Europe. While initially the companies will offer rather moderate 2.40GHz DDR4 memory solutions, eventually they promise to bring modules with up to 3.40GHz clock-rates.
The Avexir Platinum 4GB and 8GB DDR4 memory modules feature 2.40GHz clock-rate, CL16 16-16-39 timings and 1.2V voltage setting. According to Overclockers UK, the Avexir DDR4 memory modules, which are available for pre-order online, will offer one of the best bang for buck. The modules are designed for Intel Core i7 Extreme “Haswell-E” processors and the X99 high-end desktop (HEDT) platform.
The online store also said that premium Avexir Blitz DDR 4 memory with signature LED lighting would also debut shortly from now. Such memory modules will feature up to 3.40GHz clock-rates, which is a good news for overclockers.
The Avexir range will only be available to purchase from Overclockers UK for the U.K. and Caseking for the rest of Europe.

KitGuru Says: While Avexir Platinum DDR4 modules are probably cost-efficient options for those, who plan to build systems powered by Intel Core i7-5000-series “Haswell-E” processors and do not really intend to overclock them, the Avexir Blitz DDR4 modules with up to 3.40GHz frequency promise to become awesome choices for enthusiasts seeking for maximum overclocking potential.
Although these are DDR4, those timings will negate a lot of the advantage of such a high frequency.
BEWARE! They’re trying to desensitize us into accepting poorer timings for no real benefit!
BEWARE! Timings barely matter. If they did, we’d still be using ddr ram. My archaic ddr2 has CL4. Is it faster than ddr3? Hell no.
No, no it won’t.
Wrong. It depends.
DDR2-800 @ CL4 = 10 ns
DDR2-1066 @ CL6 = 11.25 ns
DDR3-1333 @ CL9 = 13.5 ns
I’ve used DDR, DDR2, and DDR3, and the diff between DDR2-800/1066 and DDR3-1333 is negligible. Now, getting to higher frequencies at the same CAS, of course. And if you really need the added memory bandwidth (servers, video editing, simulations), sure.
The only benefit from using a higher DDRx spec (other than voltage) is if the frequency can be cranked higher at the same or proportional latency timings.
Do you even know how RAM works?
L2bandwidth. What’s the volume of data DDR2 can handle vs DDR3? How many cycles to process the same volume of information?
Yep, do you?
