Kingston HyperX Lovo 1866MHz Low Voltage Memory Kit Review
Andy Ruffell / 14 years ago
OverclockingWhenever we start to overclock memory, we first make sure that the memory is able to run at its stock settings and to rule out any errors with the memory and to make sure they are not part of a “bad batch”.
Once we have performed our normal checks we were able to enter the BIOS and increase the memory clock speed.
We were able to increase the memory from its stock speed of 1866MHz to 1938MHz. We made sure that the memory was ran as intended using the stock voltage and timings as we generally see a performance decrease by loosening the timings to gain extra speed.
The increased speed from the overclock didn’t make a great amount of difference and in certain tests including write and copy we saw a decrease in performance showing that this memory is already at its peak performance.
It was very much the same results in MaxxMEM2, with only the memory latency showing a performance increase but still only by a slight margin.
