Following yesterday's ADATA review we will have a look at another 16GB memory kit today. The kit belongs to GeIL's new Evo Veloce series and consits of two 8GB modules running at DDR3-1866 MHz CL10-10-10-32 with 1.5v. Nothing really special on the paper but once we started to play around with this kit we have been surprised. In good or bad? You will find out in the following pages!
Evo Veloce, where
Veloce is the Italian word for “speed”, is how GeIL named their 4th generation top of the line DDR3 Hardcore Gaming Memory.

Taking a closer look at GeIL's memory
line-up shows that the Evo Veloce fit in their mid-range. This is being
underlined by some 10-10-10-32 timings, which is nothing special. Of
course, doing so at 1.5V is more difficult than at 1.65V, but it’s
hardly an achievement. Given that the majority of DDR3 memory ICs are able to provide a
decent overclocking and voltage headrom for scaling.
