Test Setup

 

Nothing special about the test setup. Just a normal Sandy Bridge build.

 

- Core i7 2600k

- GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD5-B3(*)

- Coolermaster Silent Pro 1000W

- WD Raptor

- Windows 7 64-bit SP0

 

- Y-Cruncher

- SuperPI 32M

 

(*) overvolts 0.02-0.03V on Vdimm from BIOS.

 

OC Overview Chart

 

Overview of OC test results. Stability was tested with full SuperPI-32M run at ~ 4.8GHz and then verified with a round of Y-Cruncher (0,1,6). Same findings as with the Enhance Corsa kit: there's not that much difference between both benchmarks: it either worked or it didn't. As for voltage affecting this kit's overclocking capabilities, it seems that this kit can handle higher voltages a bit better than the Enhance version with the sweetspot being around 1.7-1.75V. All in all a decent kit.
