ADATA XPG V2 Review: 2x8 GB at DDR3-2400 C11-13-13 1.65 V

The activity cited most often for improved memory speeds is IGP gaming, and as shown in both of our tests of Crystalwell (4950HQ in CRB, 4750HQ in Clevo W740SU), Intel’s version of Haswell with the 128MB of L4 cache, having big and fast memory seems to help in almost all scenarios, especially when there is access to more and more compute units. In order to pinpoint where exactly the memory helps, we are reporting both average and minimum frame rates from the benchmarks, using the latest Intel drivers available. All benchmarks are also run at 1360x768 due to monitor limitations (and produces more relevant frame rate numbers).
Bioshock Infinite
Tomb Raider
Sleeping Dogs
On IGP, average FPS numbers are some of the best you can get with memory, always being in the top two or three.

BF4 will hopefully be part of my 2014 test bed, I'm still getting equipment arranged to make it relevant and trying to decide a consistent benchmark. Running through an empty server atm is the only consistent way, but it might not be considered a true representation of what's possible.d9ssk02md - Tuesday, November 12, 2013 - link
Well, on my sandy bridge it only took a year or two of running memory at 1.65V to develop random freezes. Lowering the voltage (and the speed) to 1.5V made the issue completely disappear.Gen-An - Tuesday, November 12, 2013 - link
A bit surprising these couldn't go higher, considering they are likely using Hynix H5TQ4G83MFR ICs. I have some sticks of the same bin (2400C11 2x8GB) but a different brand (Silicon Power) and I've been able to push them to 2933.
