For testing the OCZ EL DDR2 PC2-4200 Gold Gamer eXtreme XTC
Edition Memory I
used the following test setup:
Motherboard: ASUS P5WD2 Premium Motherboard
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 520J (2.8GHz)
PSU:
SilverStone ST60F Modular SLI Power Supply
Video Cards: BFG 7800 GT Video Card
Hard Drives: Seagate 80GB HDD
Memory: OCZ EL
DDR2 PC2-4200 Gold Gamer eXtreme XTC Edition Memory
Sound Card: Creative Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card
Below are the results at the default speed 533MHz
DDR2
(267MHz).
Please note that in order to find the maximum stable
overclock, I increased the memory voltage to 2.2 using a timing of
5-5-5-12.
I started at the default speed of 267MHz (533MHz
DDR2)
and slowly increased until I hit 275MHz. I found 275MHz
(550MHz
DDR2)
to be stable when both running Prime95 and games. I should
also mention that OCZ has an Extended Voltage Protection
feature that allows performance enthusiasts to use a VDIMM
of 2.2V � 5% without invalidating their OCZ Lifetime
Warranty. This is quite the warranty :)! Please
keep in mind that these overclocking results will vary from
module to module and system to system.
