Memory Latency Testing:

Results: Everest Ultimate 4.00 build 1053 showed significant differences in nearly every test between these these two Corsair memory kits. In the Read test it was obvious that the 1800MHz kit with the tightest timings performed the best. In the test the tight timings on the 1800MHz CL7 kit resulted in a 23% increase in memory bandwidth over the Corsair Twin3X2048-1333C9DHX memory kit with default timings.

In the ‘Latency’ test the Corsair TWIN3X2048-1800C7DF was found to be 11.1ns quicker than the Corsair Twin3X2048-1333C9DHX, which is impressive! The winner here in all the tests was the 1800MHz kit, but the manually set timings at 7-6-5-16 1T walked away with the performance crown.

Now let’s move on to some Sandra XI SP4 and Sandra XII benchmarking!
