G.Skill ECO 4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL7 Low Voltage Memory Kit Review

Test Configuration

Today’s testing was performed with my beat up Core i7 860ES and the Asus P55 Maximus III Extreme. Windows 7 Professional x64 with the Catalyst 10.3 drivers were used with the HD5870 at reference clocks. Memory primary timings were manually set according to the results graph and secondary timings were left on auto with b2b disabled. vCore was set to 1.25v, vtt set to 1.35v, and vdimm set to 1.35v, 1.55v, 1.65v, and 1.75v for the tests. Overclocking stability was considered to be achieved when Super Pi 32M completed 1 run without errors. Reference benchmarks were performed at speeds considered stable for CAS7, CAS8, and CAS9.
