OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 1024MB Gold Edition Dual Channel (2GB) Review at 3DXtreme

Published by Newsfactory 0

OCZ has delivered another kickass product and while some of the testing showed that 4x UTT using 2-2-2-5 with 2T settings was a faster alternative when running 2GB, when using TCCD we were limited in our overclocking even when both kits can do 300+ on their own. Also, not all motherboards will provide the 3.1 volts UTT needed to run these speeds. Obviously, popping in two 1GB sticks of memory will be the preferred way of running 2GB of memory however, if you already have an existing gig of memory and are looking to add more moving to this type of kit may not be the most cost effective option.

Transcend PC2-4200 Overclocking Madness

Published by Newsfactory 0

Once again the Madshrimps test the limits of Transcend DDR2 533, this time in 1024MB (x2) module size. If you recall, overclocking DDR SDRAM resulted in higher frequencies when smaller 256MB modules were used. Fortunately DDR2 doesn´t seem to be bootstrapped in the same manner. Transcend memory has been keeping pace in performance with some of the more costly modules out there and for much less money. Their current DDR2-533MHz modules are based on Elipida E5108AE-5C-E IC´s and they´ve simply been spectacular.
