Super Pi is used by a huge audience, particularly to check stability when overclocking processors. If a system is able to calculate PI to the 2 millionth place after the decimal without mistake, it is considered to be stable in regards to RAM and CPU.
We used Super Pi’s '16M' benchmark setting.
Super Pi puts the 2800MHz set of memory from ADATA on an equal performance level to Patriot's tighter 2133MHz part. With a 2400MHz DRAM frequency and Cas Latency of 10, Corsair's Vengeance Pro set of memory is able to outperform the XPG V2 sticks by a single second (0.45%).
They seem a good brand, but I have to agree – their prices are much over what I would expect. I always thought the best strategy was to hit the market at competitive prices, then build up a reputation. Sadly they aren’t Apple. still I have their mobile wifi drive which I got on sale and its very well built.
I wish kitguru wouldn’t review ADATA, same as COUGAR – their UK distribution is dire (both only ever seem to be seen on Amazon) and their pricing? WTF, seriously. corsair are cheaper than both and have good warranty and backup, oh yeah and a recognisable brand name.
get a clue.
Kingston or corsair for me im afraid. cheaper and better.
Gold heatspreaders? Did Asus make these for their Z87 boards?
Can you explain how we can remove the heatsinks? aren’t the RAM chips glued to the heatsink?
