The case of DDR3 GeIL RAMs with an ASUS P6T Deluxe

First, let's look at what each module is capable of at the values ​​recommended by the SPD:

The difference between the 1333 and 1600 specimens can even be called a gap - but this is not at all a surprising result.

We were also curious as to what tight timings we could set for our competitors at low speeds (1066 MHz). Our attempts have deteriorated so far:

GeIL Value 1333 / C9 3 × 2 GB

6-6-6-18

GeIL Value 1600 / C8 3 × 1 GB

5-5-5-15

GeIL Ultra 1600 / C7 3 × 1 GB

5-5-5-18

All this with Everest:

Interestingly, the Ultra didn’t stand the same tight timings as the 1600 Value, but that doesn’t really show in the results. The field is together in memory management, only real differences can be observed in the delay.

Of course, we also tried to check the maximum available stable clock signal of our modules, however, our I7-920 processor intervened, as we no longer had a stable system above a base clock of 208 MHz (the same value for the GIGABYTE X58 was 210 MHz, so it is certain that "CPU -wall". In fact, this can be seen as a positive, as it all means that our test subjects did not provide the bottleneck. So let's see what we got at 1667 MHz (because all three KITs reached this speed; this time we gave all modules 1,66 V):

GeIL Value 1333 / C9 3 × 2 GB

9-9-9-24

GeIL Value 1600 / C8 3 × 1 GB

8-8-8-20

GeIL Ultra 1600 / C7 3 × 1 GB

8-8-8-20

The delay results are perfectly fine, but it is interesting that in copying the Ultra pulled away from the others a bit…
