Overclocking
Overclocking is never guaranteed, so the presented results may vary from results on other memory kits. I am not recommending overclocking if you do not know what are you doing. High voltages may damage hardware and it will not be covered by warranty.
We did not increase the voltage and left it untouched at 1.35v. However, we increased the memory speed to DDR4-3200 which is mere 100Mhz extra. The GEIL EVO X DDR4-3000 16GB Dual Channel Memory Kitt is now running at 1600Mhz with the same memory timings of 15-17-17-35.
Aida64 Memory Benchmarks
Our overclocked GEIL EVO X 16GB at DDR4-3200 give us some pretty decent memory scores. Read speed was 30,403 Mb/sec, while write speed was 31,054 Mb/sec with copy speed of 31,559 Mb/sec.
Cinebench R15
No difference in our Cinebench R15 – CPU tests. We managed to get a score of 1102. Not bad, not bad at all.
PCMark 8
The GEIL EVO X DDR4-3000 16GB Dual Channel Memory Kit produced a PCMark 8 score of 4,342, which is only a slight improvement to our non-overclocked score of 4340. We might have hit a bottleneck here.
HyperPi 32M
*** Could not complete the test
We’ve tried many times … our GEIL EVO X overclocked to DDR4-3200 failed to complete the HyperPi 32M test. A little disappointed here.
PassMark 8 Memory Performance Test
The overclocked GEIL EVO X DDR4-3000 16GB Dual Channel Memory Kit produced a PassMark memory test score of 2,652, which wasn’t too bad.
3DMark – Time Spy (default settings)
*** Could not complete the test
Again, another disappointment here. I’ve tried numerous times, but I was unable to complete our 3DMark – TimeSpy benchmark. 🙁
