Today we are using the excellent Asus P8P67 Deluxe Motherboard.
The Visiontek 1600mhz memory is rated at 8-8-8-24 @ 2T timings when running at 1600mhz. We did however manage to get it set to 1T by adjusting the settings in the Asus bios.
Increasing the memory speeds to 1866mhz proved painless, as the Asus bios booted without trouble on the ‘auto settings'.
Timings were loosened to 9-9-9-24. We did force the bios manually to 1T DRAM command mode and the system posted fine.
We tried to set the Visiontek memory to 2133mhz, but the system wouldn't post.
We manually experimented with timings and managed to get the system posting at 2133mhz with 10-10-10-32 @ 2T timings. Voltage was left on automatic.
We were pleasantly surprised with these results as many 4GB 1600mhz rated sticks have a problem achieving a stable 1866mhz, nevermind 2133mhz. System validation at these final overclocked speeds is available over here.

2133mhz kit for the price of 1600mhz. thats very good. (well if the price is what I expect it to be , cant find it anywhere).
hey, nice overclock indeed. my 1600mhz Corsair memory hits 1900mhz at 9-10-9 2t which I thought was pretty good.
I dont see this listed anywhere, even on their own site !
Really good, but they normally dont release in the UK, just North America. which sucks.
Never heard of them, but ill keep my eyes out for this, when I upgrade to my new system.
My understanding is it will be up on Tiger and Amazon within a week. It is on the site I just checked but it is a new site from a week ago..
That’s some pretty impressive overclocking, indeed! OCing running at 2133mhz with ease? Wouldn’t mind testing a few of these on my own… Glad to see quality memory out there.
I am seriously impressed with these. I have my eye on them when I see them for sale. hopefully the price isnt very high.
Yeah im ready to part with the cash myself
Whats the catch, lifetime warranty as well. seems they must be selling these for a lot of cash when they go up.
