There is speculation as to whether such a large capacity of RAM can impede the overclock within a system. The ASUS P6T Deluxe motherboard is a classic lover of overclocking so it will be a good indicator as to how far we can take our six modules.

The overclocking test was performed by simply removing speedstrap from the equation and increasing the BCLK on the Intel Core i7 processor inside the BIOS. They performed and responded to the overclock very well. I didn’t hang about, the first (and furthest) overclock I could take the EVO ONE’s to was 1800MHz. To do this, I had to stick them on C9 and ramp up to BCLK 150 which sat the CPU at 3GHz. This 200MHz overclock pushed the modules to 900MHz and allowed the int and float results for the memory bandwidth benchmark in SANDRA to increase significantly. (See below). 3GB/s was achieved due to the speed increase, with the RAM now at 1800MHz we are sitting comfortably in the 30GB/s zone.



Unfortunately though this was the farthest I could take the kit. I did try tinkering with the CPU and DRAM voltages to encourage a little more out of the EVO ONE’s but my efforts were in vain. With the time and patience bigger increases in speed are certainly possible but for the purpose of this review, the overclock achieved was more than satisfying. This represents a pleasant 12% increase. Not too bad at all!
