The RAMs





IMO, nothing special in the physical appearance. The memory chips are just covered with mirror finished heatspreader with the "Team Xtreem" label. Oh, yeah......if you just wondered what chips inside the heatspreader is, I'll tell you.....it's Micron D9GMH. And they're high-binned ones.

Let's see how well these modules can perform.......

Test Setup

The the rig I used to test this memory is:

Proc: Core 2 Duo E6300
Mobo: Gigabyte GA965P DS3P
Memory: 2x1GB Team Xtreem DDR667C3
PSU: Tagan Dual Engine 700W
HSF: Scyhe Infinity + SmartCase LED Fan



Testing Methodology

I'll test these modules in two settings, the CL4-4-4 and CL3-3-3 setting.
For the CL4-4-4 setting, I used 4:5 divider to ensure optimal CPU performance. As for the CL3-3-3 setting, I used 1:1 divider setting.
For each test, I used Win Memtest to stress up the memory to the limit. I will use dual win memtest and leave no spare room for the system RAM. The pass criteria for each setting is running the Win Memtest above 300%.

Maybe, there's some of you wondering why I didn't use "the golden standard" Orthos Blend test for the mem stress test. The reason is.....simple....it's because win Memtest do more stress to the memory...and it can stress all the remaining spare memory in your RAM, leaving no empty room in it. (for comparison, ORTHOS 'just' using 1,3GB of your spare memory)

All settings were done straight from the BIOS, NO MEMSET USED!!!!!

Price & Value

This RAM can be afforded around Rp 2,7-2,8jt for 2GB kit module. For this kind of performance, I would say this RAM is INSANELY worth to buy. The performance exceeding the price. No memory in the market can offer this kind of crazy performance in this price range. The premium one from the premium brand cost around Rp 4-5jt to get this kind of performance.

Unfortunately at the moment, in Indonesia the stock of this RAM is empty. This make the Team Xtreem 667C3 price is going over the initial price. Availability problem make this a minus point for the RAM..........(in case for the Indonesia market).

Conclusion

Team Xtreem 667C3 is a great RAM with crazy performance and great value.
This RAM can match the more expensive RAM such as Corsair Dominator 8500C5 or 6400C3 in terms of performance at a far far lower price. My personal opinion about this RAM is-----> RECOMMENDED HARDWARE

Summary:

Build and Appearance: 7/10
Performance: 9.5/10
Value: 10/10

Overall: 9/10



NB: Thx buat bro Andre X_X dan bro sinheis atas memory nya

@mob
i've tried cl 3, low latencies in ddr2 is really aggresive response in any application, i prefer low latencies than hi mem bandwidth
427-CL 3 .. ROCKS!!!!..

HALAHH!!! apa lagi... abisnya nih review pake bhs inggris sih..
mob, gw sih mending pilih timing ketat daripada hi mem bandwidth..
btw bukannya dulu pake 6600 ??
