GeIL EVOTWO, Patriot Sector 5: Ever Cheaper and Ever Faster DDR3

Published by

InsideHW.com has compared GeIL EVOTWO, Patriot Sector 5 and Kingston HyperX DDR3 memory

After last month’s test of top-notch Kingston HyperX modules declared to 2333 and 2400 MHz, respectively, we’ve received similar Geil and Patriot modules for testing. Both are dual-channel kits of 2x2 GB, best compatible with Intel Core i5 and i7 CPUs, at a voltage of 1.65 V. Specifications for both tested kits are largely the same. Geil is declared to DDR3-2200 CL9-10-9-28, while Patriot has declared their modules as DDR3-2250 CL9-9-9-27. It’s clear that for RAM modules with clocks this high, it’s best to have an appropriate motherboard that has a high memory multiplier (preferably 12x), since the RAM memory clock is the result of BCLK and memory multiplier…
