Exceleram, new brand of european memory

[Xtreme Addict]

I love overclockable sticks and that was the reason of sheer joy when I got my package with new german memory - Excelerams

First conclusions: (photos maybe tomorrow)

a) good quality of product and nice package
b) heatsinks of my beloved color - deep blue, a copy of Kingstons ones
c) good 6-layer pcb produced by BrainPower

I got 3 sets, all of the serie based on powerchip ICS (I took off the sinks). First one, PC6400 - "JS", PC8000 & PC8500 "JX".

Every set was overclocked on the same benching configuration:

E6750
P5K-E WIFI (BIOS@602)
Tagan EasyCon XL 700W

and the rest is not necessary

In bios set @ 2.4v with fan 80mm blowing on RAMs. Alphas weren't playing any role, because, whatever I set in bios, in reality it wasn't correct

TRCD @ 3 wasn't possible with clocks upper than ~ 320 - 370 MHz, I wasn't digging it, as it wasn't so important and I had limited time, well I haven't got time at all and I was forced to do tests faster than normally.



PC6400









PC8000







PC8500

I couldn't find screen on HDD with CAS=3, but I did 415 MHz on the same setting like others...







Summary

Exceleram is another player on memory market and with hard work from the constructors and nice prices it may compete with the best like Mushkin, G.skill or Cellshock. It need time grow up and fatten :p

Going back to 3 sets of my memory, the best one was undoubtedly PC8000. Minding relation of price/capabilities PC6400 is the winner. PC8500 wasn't shining, but it was just coincidence to get memory worse binned which is better than the king of family.

Try...

4-3-3-5, 4-4-3-5, 5-4-3-8, and 5-5-3-10.

And try 2.0-2.2v.

"I got 3 sets, all of the serie based on powerchip ICS (I took off the sinks). First one, PC6400 - "JS", PC8000 & PC8500 "JX"."

It's Powerchip.

@Enjoy

Powerchip ICS hate TRCD =3, and low TRAS. Eg. max on tras ~ 12 max is about ~ 440 MHz. Powerchip ICS always need tras 13/14/15 to overclock well.

Their sweetpoint is ~2.4v (about 2.36v real). And they are able to work on such voltages, and shall not die

BTW

I forgot to give PC8000 CL4 screen and it is reformed now :P

Not bad for non-Micron D9 / non-Promos

btw, you said you took heatspreader off one set, any photos of the actual memory chips ?

Nice test, as always I would say!

Can you give me a link to the company's website?

[Xtreme Addict]

Oh, I used improper word, I lifted heatsinks and took a look for the ICS. It's 100% renamed Powerchip and look exactly what the chip is I couldn't took off completely as rams are for sell and warranty label is made of really pure paper and it would pull apart I was trying but it appeared to be too risky and my supplier did not agree

But ICS looks exactly as in value series (relabeled)



Thank you all
