PCMark 2002
The
final tests were done using PC Mark 2002.
The
results of our PC Mark tests were also quite good. A slight
increase in performance thanks to the lower timings.
As expected, we were able to pass the 10K
barrier when running at maximum OC.
These modules really exceeded my expectations.
Overall, their performance was impressive, especially when compared to the
Corsair TwinX family modules of the same speed.
Conclusions
This is our first review of Kingmax memory and
it has been a rather impressive one to say the least. In all honesty, I
never expected its performance to surpass that of our Corsair TwinXPro memory. At the maximum OC (490MHz), they performed
just as well, if not better, than the more expensive Corsair TwinX4000Pro modules
thanks to the ability use lower timings to increase its performance.
They were highly stable at their maximum overclock and excelled in all our
tests. What really impressed me the most was the ability to maintain the
2.5-3-3-7 timings, even at its maximum OC. If only I could run them 100% stable at 500MHz, they would have
definitely earned our highest recommendation and award. It is not really
the memory that is at fault here, however, the results here should give you a
good indication of what to expect. When it comes
down to a price/performance comparison, the Kingmax Hardcore Series modules
are clearly a better choice and are well suited for those overclockers on a
budget looking for affordable memory without any compromises. They truly
earn their label as "Hard-core".
