We chucked the kit straight onto the test system and set the XMP profile in the BIOS. It booted straight into the OS with the correct profile.
It then delivered performance that was quite typical of a DDR3-2400MHz kit.
Next we tried overclocking but quite honestly the results were minimal. The kit refused to go to the next divider of DDR3-2600MHz with stock timings. We had to loosen timings to 11-12-13-31 to get it to boot at 2600MHz but this made the memory significantly slower. In the end the best result we could get was by adding 2MHz to the base clock which took the memory speed to 2450MHz.
Even at 2450MHz the read and copy slowed down while the write and latency improved. All in all this kit showed us that it doesn’t really have any room for overclocking.
