We ran into a wall at 2,750mhz, and increased the memory voltage to 1.68v.
We managed to overclock the memory to 2,849mhz via a 106.9 BCLK/PEG frequency setting, by reducing the multiplier to 45 to achieve a final clock figure as close to the original 4.8ghz as possible. We didn't have to loosen any of the memory timings either which was extremely impressive.
System validation at these timings is available over here.
The overclock reduced the time further, to 4 minutes and 56 seconds. A class leading result.
The overclock helps generate more than 1GB/s of extra bandwidth, to over 26 GB/s. A decent increase.
The increased memory speed helps to improve copy, read and write results. This is actually our highest scores in this benchmark, to date.
wow that is expensive memory, cost more than my video card !
Good results, 2850mhz is a heck of a result.
whether you like corsair or not, they make beautiful products. a lot of attention to detail
The only thing I will say is that memory has very little impact on gaming. id much rather pump the money into a new CPU or GPU.
Ive 1866mhz memory in my system, i never even think about changing it to be honest. dont see the need. 8GB is more than enough also.
went straight to the Overclocking page. i find overclocking is very much in the hands of the board manufacturer. ASUS have great bioses.
my G,Skill 2,133mhz never went any higher on my MSI board, but on my new ASUS board I can get 2,450mhz with a couple of timings looser.
These are fantastic results, but @ Darth Digglers – remember this memory isn’t for the mainstream audience, the price reflects that. this is meant to be for the hard core guys who want to push all components in their system to the limit.
