Corsair XMS TWINX2048-4400PRO
The Pro series in
Corsair's line comes with extra large memory heatspreaders and flashy LED
activity lights. They look astonishing when installed in a system with an
available
side panel window. The large memory heatspreaders increase the surface
area to help dissipate more heat.
This particular
PC4400PRO 2GB kit uses Infineon CE-5 memory ICs. High performance, high
density chips are rather rare and there are only a few that are capable of
meeting the goals and demands of enthusiasts. The current top contenders
possessing such potential are Micron, Infineon, and Samsung. The PC4400PRO
2GB kit is rated at a speed of 275MHz with timings of 3-4-4-8. The voltage
rating is not specified but I reckon that it should run somewhere between
2.7v-2.8v.
UPDATE:
We have just been
informed by Corsair that the PC4400PRO 2GB kit is rated with a command rate of
2T, making the timings 3-4-4-8 2T. I was unable to find the specifications
sheet on the memory so I was unsure. I did all tests with a 1T command
rate simply because, in my honest opinion, running 2T is a waste of time.
Running 2T loses a lot of performance over 1T. I continued to test to see
the highest overclock the memory will go with a command rate of 2T.
Unfortunately, the looser command rate only brought me to the rated speed of
275MHz.
