Testing Continued:
SiSoft Sandra:
SiSoft is a full featured suite that gives very nice graphical representations of their data. The three tests we ran out of their suite are below.
 |
 |
The first part of the cache and memory benchmark reports on the bandwidth of the memory and cache, in a speed rating, this is the raw power of your device. The higher the score the better, the second portion gives the speed factor, lower scores are more desirable in this instance. This ram has a high bandwidth, however it unfortunately has a high speed factor as well.
 |
 |
The memory bandwidth benchmark produced very similar results for both the float and integer bandwidth benchmarks. The ram tested quite well against the competitors.
 |
 |
The Latency on this memory leaves something to be desired. Cas 11 is not really what should be considered in the realm of performance ram.
AIDA 64:
AIDA 64 is a benchmark that in addition to providing comprehensive information about your system, it also contains a few benchmark capabilities. The application is very light-weight and makes for a handy tool.
 |
 |
For starters it provides the standard statistics about all of the system memory. We also have the specific statistics, it lists both the standard operating frequency, and the manufacturer. This is the only utility we ran that recognized the rams manufacturer.
 |
The memory latency benchmark takes into consideration the cpu – memory latency you can see from the image that while the software reports the ram as DDR2, the overall latency is quite impressive, this can also be attributed to the significantly overclocked processor.
 |
 |
 |
The read, write, and copy speeds of this ram are also quite impressive, when compared against the systems above.
 |
This attractive output simply sums up all of the raw data on the ram kit itself. The other benchmarks provided in AIDA64 compare the specific statistics against a database of known system configurations.
“Also the ram is reporting in at Single Channel however it is set at dual channel in the bios.”
lol, fail much? So the memory isnt stable enough to post bios in dual channel even.
A couple of problems with the test.
1. You are not testing the CPU and motherboard. You are testing the *RAM*. Allowing the CPU to overclock in this test when trying to “push” the RAM is retarded. Come on get with it already. It’s no wonder you didn’t reach rated on the RAM.
2. I say that you probably hit an FSB limit. Not the limit of the RAM.
