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

For our single discrete GPU testing, rather than the 7970s which normally adorn my test beds (and were being used for other testing), I plumped for one of the HD 6950 cards I have. This ASUS DirectCU II card I purchased pre-flashed to 6970 specifications, giving a little more oomph. Typically discrete GPU options are not often cited as growth areas of memory testing, however we will let the results speak for themselves.
Dirt 3
Bioshock Infinite
Tomb Raider
Sleeping Dogs
Nothing much separates any memory setting when using a single discrete GPU.

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.
