Speaking of GALAXY, as a rare hardware manufacturer with few product lines in China, there are countless classic products in both board and storage. The high-end brand HOF Hall of Fame in GALAXY has a lot in the player circle. Many fans.
The popularity of the Hall of Fame series is not only the rare white color in the industry, but also the ultimate pursuit of performance. What we want to share with you today is such a product with both value and performance, a frequency up to 4000MHz DDR4 RGB memory.
The outer packaging continues the pure white color of the GALAXY HOF series. We got the 8GB x2 package version, the memory nominal frequency reached 4000MHz, which means that XMP can be turned on on a suitable motherboard to reach a high frequency of 4000MHz. At 4000MHz frequency, the memory timing reaches C19.
The memory called 'Silver Warrior' is also in pure white color. It is made of all-aluminum alloy and is molded into a unique crown shape by stamping and CNC. The value of the crown is very good. The large-area all-metal vest cooling ability also helps the stability of high-frequency memory.
In addition to high frequency, this Hall of Fame memory also upgrades the white light on the previous generation version to the RGB light with automatic cycle color change. The high-brightness RGB LED light is matched with the well-designed light guide bar, and the color of the light is very beautiful.
The seven-color lighting effect will change in the order of orange-red-green-light blue-dark blue-purple-pink, switching one color every 6 seconds.

testing platform
Considering the compatibility and the potential of overclocking, we use the latest Core i7-7700K processor and ASUS Z270-F motherboard to perform the following tests at 4000MHz.
XMP=4000MHz
By default, we turn on XMP, and the system automatically sets the memory to 4000MHz. Let's take a look at the performance of this memory at the nominal frequency.
Memory timing reaches CL 19-25-25-45, which is also the current level of memory for most 4000MHz levels.
In AIDA64, the memory read performance reached 50771MB/s, the write performance reached 55353MB/s, the copy performance was 45387MB/s, and the delay was only 52.4 nanoseconds. The performance was very good.
At the default frequency, it performs very well in memory-sensitive chess tests. The score reaches 17376 thousand steps per second.
Extreme overclocking up to 4800MHz
As a top-level memory, we naturally can't let go of the possibility of overclocking. What is the performance of Samsung B-DIE particles and excellent work materials? The answer is - 4800MHz!
According to official instructions, we used the Core i7-8700K processor and the MSI Z370I GAMING PRO motherboard. For better compatibility and higher overclocking frequency.
By adjusting the timing and the uncomplicated overclocking process, we pulled the memory frequency up to a high frequency of 4800MHz in the case of dual channels.
AIDA64 memory write performance increased to 61,325MB / s write performance to 69,514MB / s, copy performance also reached an amazing 56,634MB / s, memory latency reduced to 42.0 nanoseconds.
Compared with the default frequency, there is a significant performance improvement. It is no exaggeration to say that this memory is already one of the most powerful memory products on the market.
to sum up
This high-end memory from the GALAXY Hall of Fame first gave us the impression of super high value and maverick pure white color. The recognition in a large number of similar products is very high.
The use of Samsung B-DIE particles brings a very good frequency performance. The measured performance also proves the strength of this product. Of course, the most surprising is its extreme overclocking frequency of up to 4800MHz.
If you are in need of a top performance memory product, I believe it will be one of your best choices.
