When I first reviewed the Dark Z memory a few months ago, I was pretty happy with the overall performance. It’s not the fastest memory ever and it wasn’t the slowest either. It’s just good memory overall and that’s fine. This is quite literally the same kit again but tuned to also run on AMD. The end result? It’s a little bit fastest, and I mean a little bit. It’s faster in every test by a small margin, I’d say it was within a margin for error. However, since it was quicker or higher in all tests, I’d say we just scored a decent kit here.
Overclocked
One thing that is interesting is that the last kit didn’t overclock all that much. However, I managed to get a little bit more out of this kit. It scored well at 3800 MHz, giving us a small performance boost yet again. As I said, the Dark Z was good, and the Alpha kit is just a tiny bit better. Albeit, it’s not a performance gap anyone is likely to notice in real-world applications, but it’s certainly respectable performance overall.
