Overclocking

Both types of DDR4 allow the Core i9-9900K to push on to 5 GHz, a serious overclock considering its 8 cores. If you’re the type of power user who demands enormous amounts of memory then the support for the double-stack DDR4 – which you can see in the photograph above – will prove very handy, and the extra capacity isn’t compromising the bandwidth either, with the Zadak kit pushing nicely to 3333MHz.
