A-DATA Vitesta PC3-12800 2GB Memory Kit Review

Tue 2008-07-15 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

TweakTown has just reviewed the A-DATA Vitesta DDR3-1600X 2GB memory kit.

Here’s what they had to say:

“Overclocking is always one of the joys of the job, and memory is getting higher in quality each day. These modules are rated to hit 1600MHz on all Intel X38 and X48 boards.

Our GIGABYTE X48T-DQ6 ran these modules at the XMP profile of 1600MHz with the 1.85v, but we weren’t happy here. We decided to see what extra we could get out of them; the result was a 1688MHz total speed with a bump in voltage to 1.9v. This was the limit; no extra voltage increase would help it go any higher, but it’s a very good result nonetheless.”

I don’t consider a mere 88Mhz overclock to be “very good”, it’s mediocre at best. If you are an enthusiast looking for a worthwhile PC3-12800 memory kit, there are two good options: the G.Skill F3-12800CL7D-2GBHZ and the Crucial Ballistix PC3-12800.
