Performance And Overclocking
As we’ve mentioned already the kit we used is a simple DDR3-1600 kit running at CL9 latencies. Enabling this was easily done with the XMP in the BIOS of our ASUS motherboard.
Performance is right around where it should be for a 1600MHz CL9 kit so we’ve no complaints here.
Overclocking was hugely impressive on these modules. We managed to go from 1600MHz all the way up to 2200MHz! That means these kits were capable of doing 1600, 1800, 1866, 2000, 2133 and 2200MHz frequencies! Unsurprisingly we had to slacken the timings a little to get to 2200MHz, from CL9 to CL10, but overall we had a really good result. The kit couldn’t quite make it to the next frequency which was 2400MHz even with timings slackened to CL11.
Performance was decent for the frequency of the memory though the copy performance seemed a little low.
As we can see the Avexir kit offered a huge gain in performance from overclocking and we can tell Avexir have engineered these kits for this task because they gave some fantastic results.
