Performance And Overclocking
The kit detects fine and runs easily at its 1866MHz 9-10-9-27-2T profile.
In terms of performance we can see they offer a very high level with the XMP profile.
Overclocking them was as expected – very fruitful. We managed to push them to DDR3-2000, then to DDR3-2133 and we couldn’t quite get to DDR3-2200 but with some base clock tuning we managed to get to 2176MHz.
This have a very hefty performance boost particularly on the writes.
They do seem rather decent but it’s been a long time since I seriously tested RAM. I’m still stuck at 1866 MHz myself due to the fact that I just apply the XMP profile on my personal rig. Nothing else.
Same but i got the old vengeance 2 x 4gb kit
Old or new the performance should essentially be the same so no need to rush out and buy this kit. If you want more memory, just add a further 2 modules (assuming you can still get the older kit which I’m sure you can).
nice i would like to win some of that
just buy it. the 2133mhz models work great too
i want some!! Let me test out for your you and Ill send it right back!!! Hmmmm LOL Corsair is a leader would buy anything from them !
