Super Talent T1000UX2G5 DDR2-1000 (2 x 1 GB) Dual Channel Memory Kit

Now, I was going to push the voltage up and rerun the tests at the highest speed at which both modules will pass. Unfortunately, no matter what I did with the voltage, the Super Talent ram would not complete all of the tests at anything higher than 1072 MHz. This in itself is still a remarkable feat for ram that is only rated for 1000 MHz. I am sure if I were to relax the timings it would go higher but that would be defeating our purpose here. Here are the results at 1072 MHz.

Well now, are you the type that likes to run your memory at the tightest timings possible? This is, of course, another form of overclocking. I went on a mission to see how tight I could get the timings of these modules to run at the default speed of 1000 MHz. The only testing done at these tight timings was with the benchmark, Super Pi. I was able to get both sets of ram to 4-4-4-8.

Wow, 4-4-4-8 with ram modules that are rated at 5-5-5-15! This is a bargain indeed. Hmmm, I wonder, how high can they go?



By pushing 2.3 volts to them I was able to achieve a speed of 1102 MHz on the Super Talent ram while the OCZ ram made it to 1114 MHz booting right from the bios to the desktop. I could touch the heatspreaders on the modules as they were running at this speed and they were just warm to the touch. The heatspreaders were doing their job of keeping the heat dissipated. There were no programs used here like Memset which lets you manipulate memory speeds from within windows. From everything I have seen here in these tests, it is clear to me that these memory modules by Super Talent are indeed “Super Talented!”. They would make an excellent choice for an overclocker or gamer.
