The A-Data X-Series DDR3 memory does not only come in a beautifully crafted box, but also performs very well. It manages to overclock nicely right out of the box and if your board can manage 2.0V then it also runs at CL6 at the rated speed. Considering that the memory can run at 1834 MHz at CL7, odds are that you may be able to squeeze 2 GHz out of the kit at CL8 or CL9 with a bit of luck - although ours did not manage - your milage may vary. On the other end of the spectrum the memory runs at almost 1400 MHz at CL5. Considering that the fastest DDR2 kits at CL5 run max out at around 1250 MHz, it becomes obvious, that DDR3 has matured far enough to replace the previous memory standard and A-Data has managed to create a excellent performing kit to do so. The very good price of around 150€s makes it even more appealing.
