For benchmarking with a FSB of 133 I set all of the timings to the most aggressive which were described on the previous page because it would be able to handle it no problem. As you can see the results are really good, but this RAM can do a lot more than 133.
I then kicked the FSB up to 166 and rebenchmarked with SiSoft, as you can see there is a big improvement in bandwidth when at 166 FSB.
I then tried to see how high I could get the RAM at the most aggressive settings, I had to up the voltage to 2.80v to get it to 175 FSB but it got there and the results are good.
I was unable to go any higher than 175 at cas 2 so I had to back it down to 2.5 and press forward. I upped the FSB to 200 and rebooted, the AGP tore because of my EPoX motherboard but after POSTing it was fine. As you can see even at cas 2.5 there is improvement in the bandwidth, if it was able to do cas 2 it would be much higher. Even though it won’t do cas 2 at 200 FSB it is still running faster than the specs which it is designed to do.
I then went for the highest possible FSB with the RAM and was able to hit 210 FSB with all of the settings at the most aggressive and at cas 2.5, if you have a better motherboard you should be able to get more out of this RAM too.
Conclusion
Because of the overclockers of the world, products are being developed more and more everyday to suit their needs. This RAM is really good especially if you are looking to take your system to the max. The RAM will overclock better on another motherboard I believe, I was able to push it to 210 even though the AGP would tear because of EPoX’s divider problem. If you are looking for high quality RAM that will let you overclock your system to the fastest possible I would really recommend this RAM to you, not only will it do 200 FSB with no problem but it has Samsung chips on it so it should be able to do a lot more. I would like to thank Paul from PC PitStop for sending this over to review, head on over and pick one up.
