Kingston HyperX blu PC3-12800 (1600MHz) 8GB Kit review

For the overclocking part my methodology was like this:

• Boot using the memory multi given on the board if it boots at all.
• Run Aida 64 Suite for stability along with 15 minutes LinX
• Take validation

Now the P8Z68 deluxe has memory support up to 2400Mhz so clocking ram is no problem provided the IMC of the processor is good.

Lets see how far they have gone.
First up the 1600Mhz frontier:
tried a little tightening on the latency,couldn’t boot below Cl 8-9-8-24 1.5V

So my adventure stopped there..sadly.

Now the next stop was 1866 Mhz.
Memory Multi..check.
Vdimm to 1.65V..check..and there she boots..

So the some must say the ram boots at 1866..big deal…but there’s more..
Vdimm 1.65V..check…
timings..a little loose..check

So there you have it…a puny little “good-looking” ram clocked at 1600C9 doing 2133 C11 at stock volts.
Good job Kingston..mind telling me the magic you used under there?

So..there goes my OC adventures..here’s a few graphs about the performance scaling on difference speed.

Super Pi 1.5
(lower=better)

Wprime 1.55
(lower=better)

Don’t worry about the scores too much..

Now the Aida 64 Memory Benchmarks
Aida memory Bandwidth

Aida Memory latency

SO there you have it..
a nice little kit that can kick some serious butt.
