Results:
For testing the OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Platinum Enhanced Latency
XTC Dual Channel 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: EVGA 7900 GT
CO SC Video Card
Hard Drives: Seagate 80GB HDD
Memory: OCZ DDR2
PC2-6400 Platinum EL XTC Dual Channel Memory
Sound Card: Creative Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card
Below are the results at the default speed 800MHz DDR2
(400MHz).
Please note that in order to find the maximum stable
overclock, I increased the memory voltage to 2.2 using a
timing of 4-5-4-15.
I started at the default speed of 800MHz
DDR2 and slowly increased until I hit 910MHz. I found 910MHz
DDR2 (455Hz) to be stable when both running Prime95 and games.
I should also mention that at 667MHz DDR2, a memory timing of
4-4-4-12 was possible. Remember, the lower the memory timing
the better. Sometimes a lower memory timing at a lower speed
will be on par with memory at a higher speed using higher
memory timings, so keep that in mind when overclocking
memory.
Please keep in mind that these overclocking results will
vary from module to module and system to system.
Also note that like most other OCZ memory, this product comes with EVP
or Extended Voltage Protection. This features allows
overclockers to push this memory to 2.2V - 5% without
voiding the lifetime warranty. This perk is something that will give
performance enthusiasts the freedom to push this memory to
faster speeds.
