table could complete.
Oddly enough, for 2400MHz,
only the one stick could reach
this speed with such timings.
The alternative stick couldn’t
POST windows let alone
complete any benchmark. We
were surprised to see such a
discrepancy between these
sticks. Having said that, this set
is fairly affordable and it just
may be worth putting together
two sets of this memory and
finding the best two.
With some sub-zero
temperatures and some tuning
we are confident that higher
speeds can be achieved, add
to which we maintained a B2B
Latency of 2 which stressed the
memory subsystem more than
one would normally so there
just may be some more to be
had even on the X58 board.
We tried relaxed settings to
see if we could achieve higher
speeds, but 2,400MHz seemed
to be the limit for the system
and we suspect this has allot
to do with our particular CPU/
Motherboard combination
more than the RAM’s inability

We per formed these tests on the industr y standard 3600 MHz on an un-optimized fresh
install of Windows 7.

to reach that speed in a dual
channel configuration.
As easy as it was
overclocking this RAM,
those on a P55 (the intended
platforms) system will
certainly have an easier time
reaching these speeds and
