Locating GeIL memory kits in the UK market is a difficult task but thankfully the tail-end of this year has seen a significant movement by GeIL to boost things in Europe – something they used to be revered for. So how well does the EVO CORSA DDR3 kit perform on the Sandy Bridge platform? The answer is: very well indeed. There are different variations in frequency and CAS timings available but the 2133MHz CL10 kit we have examined today delivers some interesting and satisfying results.

Due to the high frequency and high CAS timings of this kit there is sadly no room to overclock. Increasing the frequency results in problems as does the lowering/tightening the CAS timings but then some consumers will be interested in this kit for the simple fact that it already comes at an impressive stock frequency.



The only real niggle with this kit is the colour. Many enthusiasts are favouring subtle colours in a bid to create a stealthy looking system. Gone are the days when motherboards would resemble a rainbow, so the EVO CORSA colour will leave many puzzled. If you aren’t particularly fussed about things matching within your configuration and are only focussed on performance then this won’t be an issue.

In terms of pricing, this kit can be found for around £70 inc. VAT which isn’t bad at all for an 8GB DDR3 kit at 2133MHz. It’s certainly affordable and if you have browsed the benchmarks on the preceding pages you will know that this kit performs consistently well.
