Package actually comes with a glow-in-dark GSkill Sticker, which one may wish to stick on the PC Case, shown above very slightly visible in the light.

Let's head on to the performance tests:

Platform Test Setup

CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300

Motherboard

ASUS P5B Deluxe Intel P965 Chipset

Memory

2 x 1GB GSkill F2-6400CL4D-2GBHK

Graphics Card

XFX 7800GTX

Hard Disk Drive

Seagate 80GB Barracuda SATA Hard Disk Drive

PSU

OCZ 520w PowerStream

Operating System

Windows XP Professional SP2

 

I started off at a low voltage point of 2.1v and with the default Latency of CL4-4-3-5 (which is considered pretty decent Timings for DDR2).

2.25v gives a big yield transiting from 2.15v, so you can see that the rated mark of 2.1v is close to the "high-efficiency" mark.

510MHz at CL4-4-3-5 with just 2.3v is very nice results for a pair that is not assigned to the "Uber-Fast & Uber-Expensive" task force. To proceed from here, I had to loosen the latency to CL5-5-5-15:

Immediately, she went to 551MHz stable at the same modest 2.3v!
