OCZ 4200EL: Tops in Memory Performance

Test Results

To test overclocked stability, we used the very demanding Gun Metal 2 - Benchmark 2, which pushes systems with its DX9 routines. To be considered stable for test purposes, Gun Metal, our Quake3 benchmark, UT2003 Demo, and Super PI had to complete without incident. Any of these 4, and in particular Super PI and Gun Metal, will crash a less-than stable memory configuration.

The latest revision of OCZ 4200EL performed better than its rated 2.5-4-4-7 specification. In fact, at DDR400, like Corsair XMS4000PRO and Mushkin, it allowed some of the fastest timings that we have seen with any high-speed memory. The top speed of DDR560 is also the highest stable overclock that we have yet seen on any DDR memory.
