Conclusion

Regarding the DDR3 1600X CL 7-9-7-21, ADATA succeeded in putting together a very good memory kit. Also the manufacturing quality and the looks of these modules has been able to convice. Therefore we like the plain and simple design which is being kep in silver and leaves a decent impression.
As we can see from our graphs that ADATAs ADATA DDR3 1600X CL 7-9-7-21 modules don't only allow high clock frequencies, they also allow you to set aggressive timings at voltages below the manufacturers specifications. Therefore ADATA did a good job selecting the chips they've actually been putting onto thise DIMMs. With CL7-9-7-21-1T we've benn able to reach 878 MHz. With the timings increased to CL9-11-9-21-1T it's been possible to reach 1'125 MHz. In both cases the DIMMs needed more than 1.70 Volt.
We generally recommend this memory kit to gamers as well as overclockers who want to get a memory kit which performs above average and is available at an attractive price point.

Rating

Because of the fact, that the ADATA DDR3 1600X CL 7-9-7-21 are good memory modules which come at a competitive price tag which as about CHF 66.- (est. EUR 51.-) we give it four out of five possible stars.
