Isn't CL 12 timing close to DDR3? That is pretty obscene IMHO, at that CL 12 with 2666MHz, its probably faster than some of the fastest DDR3 available.
Now, that is what I called the true upgrade to DDR4.
Heheh, I don't think my test rig is even RAM bandwidth starved at my present setting of DDR4-2666 CL14...
HCI MemTest Windows
About as good as it gets... if RAM tests have the equivalent of Super Grinder (relentless punishing level well known to Defence Grid fans), this is probably it. It's really time intensive, bogs down the whole test rig to a crawl but nonetheless, a nice stress workout in ensuring overclock stability.
Go for a few full rounds (over a few hours) if you have the patience for it. Pity too few RAM reviews showcase this tough stress test though.
memtest12.bat
Batch file for running 12 instances of memtest for 12 threaded CPUs on 12 GB of RAM. Adapted from Praz's bat file of Asus ROG forums.
Defense Grid 2
What followed was several hours of gaming - yup, went back to honing my alien destroying skills in Defense Grid 2 - Super Grinder mode with its prolonged intense 100 waves of marauding hordes to a new peak and everything ran rock stable.
These 2 are probably among the toughest prolonged levels at Super Grinder.
Market Price Compare@Newegg
A search shows that the Crucial Sport is among the most affordable kits around and occasional spot offers drop the street prices even lower.
Initial Impressions
Having spent some time with this pretty Crucial kit, I am thrilled to find the all round glowing reviews now on the web are indeed accurate in saying that this is a most cost effective stable product which is also easily overclockable.
This kit may be rated at only DDR4-2400 speeds which coincidentally is Crucial current fastest rated DDR4 memory. It does seem though that Crucial has been conscientiously modest and has come up with RAM which is actually quite capable of easily running above its factory specs as shown by this sample.
Best part - we only get to pay the possibly market lowest DDR4-2400 prices for it.
