Memory
RAM is one of the basic building blocks of a computer system, and although the technology has changed over the years the same basic idea of quick temporary storage has been RAM's main purpose since its inception. Gamers have always wanted the fastest speeds possible but unfortunately that meant that many of the fastest kits were very expensive. Since the introduction of DDR3 prices have plummeted and speeds have skyrocketed and a good set of 2 x 4GB RAM can be had for under $150. G.Skill understands this and has SKU's designed for every price range. G.Skill's most recent addition is its Sniper series of which we will be looking at the 1866 MHz F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR kit which is well priced $104.99 providing users above average speeds with relatively tight 9-10-9-28 timings. Benchmark Reviews will determine if this RAM is worth its price or if users are better off getting slower, less expensive SKU's.
Recently Corsair announced their Vengeance range of memory including the slightly more appealing Low Profile version allowed for high performance and low clerance, which a lot of users may be faced with due to their hefty coolers needed mainly for overclocking.
Visiontek are a well known brand in North America, having produced some great AMD oriented video cards. A few weeks ago we reviewed their latest 8GB DDR1600mhz kit for Sandybridge which we managed to overclock to a whopping 2133mhz. Today we are looking at their latest 12GB (3x4gb) 1866mhz kit for the X58 platform.
If you're a hard core overclocker, the ASUS Maximus IV Extreme will provide you with all of the tools you could ever need to squeeze every last drop of performance out of your hardware. If you are simply a beginner, it is simple enough to configure to give you the performance boost you crave with all of the tools you'll need as your overclocking skills mature.
Today we are looking at two memory kits from GeIL which are designed for the Sandy Bridge platform. The Evo kit offers speeds above 2100MHz for the high end user and the Enhance modules are more mainstream, though guaranteed to overclock.
Arbeitsspeicher ist nach wie vor sehr preiswert und mittlerweile sind selbst 8 GByte große Module erschwinglich geworden. Der Preisdruck geht hierbei insbesondere von der Firma Exceleram aus, deren 32-GByte-Kit DDR3 Grand EG3003A wir in den vergangenen Tagen ausführlich getestet haben.
Our friends over at Kingston have just sent us a 4GB kit of their Limited Edition HyperX DDR3-1600 low latency memory (KHX1600C7D3X1K2/4GX). These modules are primarily being sold overseas (Russia/Eastern Europe). They run at 1600MHz and have a CAS latency of 7 with timings of 7-8-7-20 at 1.65V. Being that this kit only runs at 1600MHz and has low timings this should leave a lot of headroom for overclocking. Read on and see how far we can push these modules.
The ARES series is ultimately designed for those who have really large air coolers and need a lower profile heatsink, which is something we don't see a lot of company's offering these days as more and more feel bigger is better. Available in both blue and orange you can see above we're of course got our hand on one of the blue kits which looks great (Ed: and matches the TweakTown color scheme great!).
While the kit does consist of four modules, it's worth knowing that the ARES series at the moment is still only a Dual Channel kit designed for the P67 / Z68 platform along with hopefully the upcoming Z77. With our X79 testbed so close, though, we'll see how the kit fairs in Quad Channel today as well as Dual Channel.
With the recent launch of Intel’s Ivy Bridge Z77 platform many established companies have been focusing on releasing quality memory targeting the demanding enthusiast user. Today we are looking at an ultra high performance kit from Kingston which operates at a staggering 2,666 mhz.
