Lets test this baby out!
I welcome constructive criticism in whatever forms it may come. Rather than blatantly disregard this comment, lets give the individual a chance to defend their standpoint. Firstly, Clarify what you mean by DOC, this may be a proprietary term for your BIOS as I am not familiar it specifically. Secondly, how would you recommend I test the functionality of this ram kit without overclocking, Using XMP is as close to manufacturer approved overclocking as you will ever get as it accounts for safe voltages and safe operating frequencies for a specific set of hardware. Thirdly, I reached all of Patriot’s specifications, I could understand your reservation if I had experienced ANY system instability, but I have not, I am in fact writing this response on the very system mentioned in this review. I look forward to your Response t1n0m3n
You left DOC turned on. Not a good idea to overclock while evaluating RAM.
How would you go about evaluating 2000mHz RAM without overclocking? He tested the RAM at whatever speeds it is intended to run. If they had stated that it was 1333mHz RAM, he would have left it at stock speeds to test. How else should he have done this?
It is an Xtreme Ram kit intended for overclockers and performance enthusiasts. As such OF COURSE we are going to overclock it. If you ask the question why we overclocked it then perhaps you should stick to the generic ram available at best buy or online.
Someone forgot to change their tampon this morning.,..haha!!
