Overclock3D awards these modules with a Gold Award for their excellent performance.

"What was once a part of your system that you only cared about pure storage of, has rapidly become something of vital importance. The difference between 4GB and 8GB is much less than the difference between a 2000MHz or greater kit, and one that's still down in the 1600, or even worse 1333, MHz bracket.

Similarly to how DirectX solved a swathe of compatibility issues between varying hardware types, so the XMP profiles forced manufacturers to focus their energies upon creating consistent timings and fairly universal specifications. By and large memory now comes at 9-9-9-27, with only the expensive or slow models giving tighter timings, and the anything worse than 9-9-9-27 giving pause for thought."
