Geil EvoOne DDR2 Review

Massman · 1st September 2008, 11:42

When it came to overclocking the Geil EvoOne DDR2 2x2GB kit, it was quite easy to get those MHz a soaring! I was able to achieve 1160MHz while staying right around the 2.0 volts that the sticks are rated for. I was also able to keep the memory timings somewhat close to the stock timings of 4-4-4-12. They ended up being 5-8-8-22 when I overclocked the RAM. A 45% overclock on the RAM's clock speed is always a nice feat to accomplish. Acheiving these clock speeds was not very difficult, as all I really needed to do was loosen the timings, raise the voltages and change the divider while I upped the front side bus. I was able to keep the timmings at 5-5-5-15, however the speed of the RAM ended up being only 940MHz, so I decided to stay with the 1160MHz at 5-8-8-22 for benchmarking.
