Because integrated GPUs generally employ shared system memory, RAM performance has a significant effect on gaming frame rates. We're testing seven 8 GB DDR3 kits that manufacturers tell us are a perfect match for AMD’s mainstream Llano-based APUs. The ...
Although it's the top performer in today’s comparison, Geil’s lack of U.S. availability makes it impossible to include in any value comparison, which obviously requires that we consider a price tag. That leaves Crucial’s middle-of-the-pack Ballstix DDR...
Without current test setup we were not able to boost this ram all the way, I have seen several reviews that boost the ram way higher than we did. I personally think we were limited by our AMD setup in this case. The ram stayed cool during our testing ...
The Vengeance line of memory is another great product from Corsair. As usual we see them perform extremely well, with no troubles at stock timings or with relaxed ones while overclocked, we were impressed by the kit. The new style of heat spreaders ar...
In terms of aesthetics, these Vengeance modules are very sleek, and would look fantastic in just about any motherboard, especially one that has a predominantly black colour scheme. From a functional perspective, the heatspreaders are on the slightly ta...

Excellent price, High capacity, Will do CL8 at 1600 MHz 1.5V, Rated for 1.5V out of the box, Good headroom at CL9, Manages to hit 2040 MHz when relaxing the timings slightly to 9-10-9-27, Cool looking heatspreaders, Available in kits up to 16 GB, Lifetime
No voltage scaling at all, Less overclocking headroom than lower density kits, Did not manage 2000 MHz CL9-9-9-27, Large heatspreaders may collide with some coolers
Anyone who knows a bit about overclocking will know that a triple channel kit is harder to push than a dual channel one, while a high-density kit ups the ante even more. So it was to be expected that the Corsair Vengeance triple-channel kit does not ov...
Based on our experience we can say that overclocking 12GB with only three modules of memory installed is much easier than using six modules. So this 12GB Vengeance kit definitely offers more flexibility of adding more memory in the future, but also bri...
