PC Mark 2002
While the score were indeed high, they did not
show any significant improvements at 200FSB.
We were able to easily go above the 10K barrier
when running at maximum OC. Again, the TWINX1024-4400 scored higher due
to the extra 10MHz we were able to overclock.
Overall, the performance tests were very similar
in comparison. We were hoping to show you some significant improvements
with this RAM but we were just not able to overclock our system much higher in
order to achieve them. It just wasn't stable and we only like to provide
you with results based on 100% stability.
Conclusions
Corsair has never disappointed us in the past
and we always go into our reviews with high expectations. Unfortunately,
this is the only time they just did not impress. While they still
deliver the highest performance for your dual channel 875P motherboard, they
came quite shy of their rated speed of 550MHz. We were also only able to
achieve an additional 5MHz overclock, bringing the speed up to 500MHz.
It was able to go higher, but the system was simply not stable enough for us
to recommend running them at those speeds. We realize there are quite a
few choices out their when it comes to Canterwood motherboards, however, if
you want to achieve 550MHz, we would suggest you opt for the Asus P4C800-E to
run these particular modules at their optimum performance. For the
money, it might be a better option at this point to go with the attractive
4000Pro modules which offer the activity LED's
and very similar performance results.
More information on these can be found on the
Corsair website.
