Results:
For testing this product I used the following test setup:
Motherboard: DFI UT nForce4 SLI DR Motherboard
CPU: AMD Athlon� 64 3000+ @ 2.5GHz
Processor
PSU:
SilverStone ST60F Modular SLI Power Supply
Video Cards:
ATI All-In-Wonder X1900
256MB PCIE Video Card
Hard Drives: 2 x WD Raptor 74GB HDDs in RAID0
Drive: Plextor PX-712A
DVD�R/RW Drive
Memory:
GeIL Ultra Platinum PC4000 Dual Channel Memory
Sound Card: Creative Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card
Below are the results at the default speed 500MHz DDR
(250MHz).
Please note that in order to find the maximum stable
overclock, I increased the memory voltage to 3.1 using a
timing of 2-4-4-7.
Please also note that I used a faster CAS of 2, rather than the
default 2.5. I started at the default speed of 250MHz (500MHz DDR) and
slowly increased the MHz until I hit 255MHz. I found 255MHz (510MHz
DDR) to be stable when both running Prime95 and games. While
there isn't a lot more you can get out of this memory at a timing of 2-4-4-6 (default is 2.5-4-4-7), it's darn fast. If
the memory timings are relaxed this memory will probably go a little
further. Please keep in mind that these overclocking
results will vary from module to module and system to
system.
