Dopo numerose lamentele riguardo alla stabilità della memoria relative a schede che in passato hanno ottenuto i nostri premi, abbiamo deciso di rendere i test di overclock più stressanti e impegnativi, e d'includere anche un pacchetto da 4 moduli DDR3-2800 da 8 GB.
Questi moduli tuttavia usano come valore di default DDR3-1333, e con qualche scheda l'abilitazione XMP porta a un contestuale overclock "nascosto" della CPU. Per far sì che i benchmark risultassero più onesti, però, volevamo eseguire questi test ad almeno DDR3-1600 CAS 9. Le uniche DIMM da 8 GB adatte ai nostri scopi sono quelle del kit Patriot PV332G240C1QK DDR3-2400 da 32 GB.
Questo kit si trasforma magicamente in quello da 16 GB (part number PV316G240C1K) semplicemente rimuovendo due dei quattro moduli.
