Corsair XMS TwinX 1024MB PC4400 DDR Memory

Corsair XMS TwinX PC4400 Conclusion:

There is going to be some variation on timings and maximum overclock between each stick of RAM and each brand of motherboard, so individual results may vary. I've seen this memory reviewed on several other Canterwood (875P) motherboards, all were able to achieve a minimum of the rated 275FSB / DDR550 (PC4400) speed and overclock anywhere from 280-290FSB (roughly). Achieving a 275MHz FSB requires very good cooling, not just for the CPU, but also the memory and other components on the motherboard.

While the overclock on this memory may not be a large percentage, you have to consider how fast the memory is already rated for, this is pushing DDR to the extreme. For the extreme overclockers, the Corsair XMS TwinX PC4400 is a must have if you want to run your memory at 1:1 with a high FSB.

While not all people will do voltage mods to their motherboard (hence why we reported two overclocked speeds), it will allow you to achieve higher speeds. Voltage mods will void your warranty (but then again, so does overclocking, hehe). We didn't want to push the memory too hard, however many people do use 3.3V+ when benchmarking and hitting speeds of 300FSB / DDR600 is not unheard of.

Corsair has been a leader in the design and manufacture of high-speed modules since 1994 and provides quality memory for both enthusiasts and average end-users. All of their memory is backed by a lifetime warranty and is tested in many different motherboards for maximum compatibility and stability.

With more high-speed experience than anyone out there, we [Corsair] know the importance of design features like tightly-controlled trace lengths, controlled impedances, clock trace design, unbroken power and ground planes, and selectively plated gold. Corsair Memory has developed an industry-wide reputation for quality, compatibility and performance
