Aurora R13, getting XMP memory?

it's been a point of discussion before and support confirmed no XMP support! But then they announced on Twitter that there would be XMP support for Kingston Fury.  So they actually can support XMP?

Sure looks that way...fingers crossed that they do finally unlock XMP on the R13. @DELL-Chris M can you please pass on any more details on this as you become aware of them, please? Thanks!

I just checked the Dell internal Aurora R13 parts page. There is no reference to Kingston Fury memory. It still only shows the three memory sticks that I showed to all in the FAQ Aurora R13.

Maximum memory configuration = 128GB

Memory configurations supported =
8GB, 1x8GB, DDR5, 4400MHz
16GB, 2x8GB, DDR5, 4400MHz, dual channel
32GB, 2x16GB, DDR5, 4400MHz, dual channel
32GB, 4x8GB, DDR5, 4000MHz, dual channel
64GB, 2x32GB, DDR5, 4400MHz, dual channel
64GB, 4x16GB, DDR5, 4000MHz, dual channel
128GB, 4x32GB, DDR5, 3600MHz, dual channel

 

WMMC0 32GB, DDR5, 4800MHz, 2Rx8, 4Gx64, Unbuffered, 288 pin, Dual Rank, Non-ECC, will operate at 4400MHz
Hynix HMCG88MEBUA, Micron MTC16C2085S1UC48BA1, Samsung M323R4GA3BB0-CQK

K7G24 16GB, DDR5, 4800MHz, 1Rx8, 2Gx64, Unbuffered, 288 pin, Single Rank, Non-ECC, will operate at 4400MHz
Hynix HMCG78MEBUA, Micron MTC8C1084S1UC48BA1, Samsung M323R2GA3BB0-CQK

29NJ4 8GB, DDR5, 4800MHz, 1Rx16, 1Gx64, Unbuffered, 288 pin, Single Rank, Non-ECC, will operate at 4400MHz

Yep, he states it. I also do not see it on sales site. Email sent to them.

Really, really, really hoping that this is the RAM that gets certified and offered for our R13s. Overclockable up to 6000 (if system BIOS allows): Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 RAM XMP 3.0 compatible and maybe have the overclocking and RGB lighting controllable in AWCC. That'd be sweet.

DDR5 6000 MHz at CL-40 has a slower absolute latency than DDR4 3200 MHz at CL-16.

Alienware had a bad track record when it comes to supporting xmp for intel chips. r12 and r11 didn't support beyond 3200mhz even when ddr4 had ram released in the 4000ish speed so i doubt we'll see much support beyond what they are planning to sell

This is true but there is still roughly a 4-5% performance increase with DDR5 vs DDR4. DDR5's higher speeds vs DDR4 offset, to a certain extent, it's higher latency numbers. And performance differences are also very much app/game dependent. Overall, the performance advantage of DDR5 vs DDR4 is not huge, but it is measurable. Also, if I can get RGB RAM sticks, I like the effect in the clear side panel R13, cosmetic, yeah but I like it. So overall, I'll take DDR5 at higher speed over DDR4 with lower latency. But, as always, YMMV.

R10*. R11 was AMD which supported the full XMP range

That is not what it said. It says: releasing XMP Memory from Kingston FURY on the Aurora R13.

That does not mean there will be XMP support. The XMP profile could be equal to the current profile, or it can run at the default current profile.

 

 In fact, it's a cryptic message and I wish they would be clearer when they make statements like that.

I get your point, but why would they bother to publicly make out that the product is such a big deal, if they are simply going to run it at current profile. There'd be zero incentive to buy it or to upgrade to it, if overclocking is not an option. I mean, I like RGB, but if that's all the product is going to offer, I, and I expect others, would take a hard pass.
