Overclocking

Overclocking was very successful, with a maximum frequency of 2380 MHz reached. It's not a straight 2400 MHz, but still a very good result nonetheless, considering this kit is quite old as far as tech is concerned. It did take a fair bit of timing tweaking to get there, but this result is nothing to scoff at, as reaching a nearly 50% overclock is not something seen very commonly.

Overclocked Performance Summary

SuperPi finished with the Exceleram ERB300A kit in first place, a result that I did expect. Considering the other results are at 2400 MHz or more, this is outstanding, but again, expected.


wPrime got a decent boost as well, and with the XMP profile being down on the bottom here, the result is very rewarding.


AIDA Read Performance improved quite well, much like what I expected, securing second place for the Exceleram ERB300A kit.


Likewise latency improved quite a bit as well, again putting the Exceleram kit on top.


WinRAR also gave us results like AIDA Read Performance, another second-place finish.


Shogun 2 put the overclocked ERB300A kit right on top again, but at this point, I expect no less.

As you can see, overclocking brought great rewards with the Exceleram kit on top in the majority tests, and the tests it wasn't in first, it placed a close second. Exceleram really hit the mark here.
