The Perfect Storm series Core i7 kits which come with a dual 60mm air cooler plus blue LEDs with a 4-pin connector.




The standard heatspreaders are epoxied to the ICs and the PCB.



Test System
Today, we'll be using our Biostar X58 testbed ,the OS Microsoft Windows XP Pro and the benchmarking applications Everest v4.60 and SuperPi 1.5mod.
The G.SKILL Perfect Storm were clocked at DDR3 2000MHz with 7-7-7-21-1T,for stable performance vDIMM was set to 1.68v and DDR3 1900MHZ with 6-7-6-21-1T timings at 1.88vDIMM.



Biostar Tpower X58 test platform
CPU - Core i7 920 D0
Cooling - Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme
VGA - ATI HD4770
SSD - Transcend 32gb
OS - Windows XP Pro
PSU - Giga EZ 1000w

DDR3 2000MHz Cas7 7-7-21-1T (1.68vDIMM)


DDR3 1900MHz Cas6 7-6-21-1T (1.88vDIMM)


For the overclocking results vDIMM was kept at 1.68v.
DDR3 2140MHz Cas7 7-7-21-1T (1.68vDIMM)

DDR3 2360MHz Cas9 9-9-31-1T (1.88vDIMM) ,I would hardly call this stable but it was able to complete the Everest cache & memory bandwidth test


DDR3 2402MHz Cas9 9-9-31-1t (1.88vDIMM)

Hiwa have you tried the G.SKILL (PS) CAS7??

[George_o/c]

As far as I remember hiwa had the CL7 Perfect storm triple kit and it could do exceptionally high CL7 frequencies at only 1.54 - 1.65V
