greeting all,

Purchased this pair of ram few days back, bought it outta curiosity as I never tried Aeneon ram before. Didn't put high hope since it's rated CL 11 @ 1600MHz, very loose to be honest.


Here are some shots on the ram:

On 1st glance, the black heat spreader is quite a looker to me, not bad for a pair of value ram.


From here, we can clearly see the heat spreader doesn't make proper contact with the chips.


Upper part of the heat spreader doesn't really provide sufficient space for ventilation (which is good when we start pushing the ram). Area of improvement for Winova perhaps... Hmmmm...



Okie, enough of talking I guess, I will let the screen shots do the talking. Below are the details of my poor test bed:

AMD X3 445 3.1GHz @ X4 B45
Asus M4A88TD-V EVO /USB3
Asus 5770 CuCore @ X-Fire
Seasonic X850


First test, 1600 @ 7-7-7-21-28 with 1.56v, not bad considering the stock timing is @ 11-11-11-30-41 with 1.5v...




2nd test, 1800 @ 8-8-8-24-32, still with 1.56v... quite decent if u ask me...




Eventhou bein able to do 1800 @ 8-8-8-24-32 can be considered as pretty OK, but i felt that these sticks have something more to offer, hence, timing was tightened a 'lil... Here's 1800 @ 7-8-7-22-29 with 1.65v. Voltage is no longer low enough for low voltage setup but still OK to my book.




Final attempt, 1900 @ 7-8-7-22-29 with 1.755v. I was kinda surprised this is doable coz i remember back then (when i was using Geil Ultra 2133 CL9, Team Dark LV 1600 CL7 & 2000 CL9 > all using Elpida BBSE chip from what i read) I hit the wall at 1840MHz with same timing.




For those who would like to run their stick with rather high frequency at moderate voltage, these sticks can do 1900 @ 8-9-8 with 1.59v.


*pardon my lazyness for not completing the whole 1 hour test, i was kinda exhausted already...


I firmly believe they sticks can offer better mileage under Thuban or Intel platforms, but unfortunately, a poor Propus is what I have for the moment.

Some might ask what chips are being used on these modules, I cant really pin point exact name but judging from the capability, they behave quite close to Elpida BBSE which already EOL. One thing for sure they're from Elpida (since the chip manufacturer is Elpida).

Here are some thoughts on these decent sticks:

Pro:

1. Affordable price
2. Decent mileage
3. Low voltage & decent timing on stock frequency

Con:

1. Heatspreader not making proper contact
2. Design of heatspreader can be better
3. Voltage needed for high frequency w/ rather tight timing is slightly high

Last but not least, thanks for reading.

wow..great speed/timings for considering using propus..

btw, how cheap is this ram bro?

and..u copy the way hilmi take photo of the ram

pried the heatspreader?

wow nice discovery!

didn't have the bravery like u to get winova...

After all of this years competing with sir khoo...now he showing me the great review!!! Thumbs UP!!!

Nice review bro & nicely done... Love the 1900 @ 7-8-7-22-29 with 1.755v & 1900 @ 8-9-8 with 1.59v.

I think now i want to use this Quote for ma self.... - The One With The Lemon Hands -

these sticks are sellin @ $7x per pair here, slightly higher than kvr 1333 cl9 @ $27~30 per stick.

lol... i was inspired, but d 1st time i saw someone did this was few years back, d grand guru of oc - sir bwan...

not yet find d courage to pry off d heatspreader...

actually i was offered money back guarantee bro, that's why i dared to take d risk...

lol... ur bein modest bro, when it comes to tweakin & oc, ur way better than me... see d superpi, there're alot i need to learn from u...

again, i was bein lucky only...

IC, get a pair of guaratee one for me also... haha...
currently suffering to OC my DDR3 Rig... gosh....
seems so new to me...

d more u play w/ it, d faster u'll get familiar bro. usually i just set main timing, d rest i just leave 'em to auto.

memtestin ram b4 goin to windows environment is a good practice to prevent windows bein screwed. some mite call it old skool but useful to those kiasi ppl like me.

Naise review bro, i rike!!! Any chance of synthetic benchies like Sisoft sandra to see any difference between those speed??
Haihhhh u always get those unusual but good rams, me & my cipetet hands

memtest RAM need how long? My RAM dunno is cannot overclock or my mobo cannot take it. 1600...cannot even 1650 at 1.65V and 9-10-9-27 or even looser...

bro, it's kinda hard to show as i have a locked chip. be chips have more combo to show diff ram freq @ almost same cpu clock & imc freq. possible to throw me any be chip?

well, u need more luck i guess, they say mandi bunga can buang suey...
my practice is about 5 rounds of test #5 for quickie, bout 20 rounds for prime stable setup. voltage wise it really depends on chip... i5 should be able to clock ram decently... can't really comment much is i'm a intel idiot...

Fun time

Nice test.
I got 1 winova stick 4gb with aeneon heatsink.
But it cant go beyond 1600mhz. Although in bios state 1800mhz, in window show the ram speed 1400Mhz.

for sticks w/ elpida chip, trfc must be loosen to at leat 160ns or higher...

guys. where to find this stick..

there's a bro sellin winova ram in gs, try to search for d thread usin winova... all d best bro...

Thanks, my ram can go beyond 1800mhz.
But the cpu speed drop from 3.4g to 3.08g.
Is it because the limit or my processor, X2 250?
My mobo MSI 880GM E-41

but theres no 2Gb per pcs.... he only have 4Gb per pcs..
4Gb

Haha, bro khoo, bcoz you willing me do some small reviews, so I give u 7 days $$ back guarantee.
and bro Louis, thanks for you effort in this reviews and sorry my 8gb kit sold out, if not I can give u to try my ram.

This post has been edited by momokabuto: Mar 17 2011, 03:43 PM

sorry bro, just update the thread after have a conversation with distri
price been updated on my post.

ah khoo :
the chip actually is Elpida chip but is label with Winova name only
Thanks for the good feedback about the ram.

no, propus/deneb/regor max out around 1.9k, which is normal due to architecture imo. if u want higher, thuban is d only way...

i gotta thank u for that bro, else this ram will go unnoticed, it deserves better. u should thank sir louis, he's d one unlocked d potential of d ram... 2.2k is no joke considerin d price & on amd platform...

thx for d info bro... yup, i managed to see d ram by pryin of one side of d heatspreader, d chips used are winova relabeled.

Wait I go and grab one CHIVE see can go higher anot...

not worth it imo sir... better source for a chip w/ better imc, thou ya current chip's imc is ledi very2 impressive... 2.2k @ cas 8 is no joke...

thanks! good news to me.

7-8-6 at 1972Mhz



7-8-7 at 2000Mhz



hmm.. nothing to play liao

stock voltage 1.5V ke bro? wow.. very tempting speed + timing

multiply another 25 percent!

any update? planning to get this sticks but worried the price will increase before the end of this month... i heard many rumours said that

maybe tomorrow, playing crysis 2 with monster..

How is the memory perform on this bit*h?



Very tired, tomorrow then mould this one

wahhh...nice mobo bro...
btw this ram can do 8-8-8 @ 2000mhz or not bro??1.65v??
so interesting....

considering ah khoo can do 1900 7-8-7 with and AMD and a non-thuban imc, i strongly believe it can do better on intel..and might be possible..

or perhaps sir louis can demo to us this ram on intel

Good job for bro ah_khoo n Sir Louis, perhaps Sandy OC can better than AMD.

if thats the case...that would be nice....
but 1900 c7 that bro ah_khoo perform is at 1.75v...
kinda dangerous though...
need to wait for the demo on intel platform 1st...hehe

i wont consider 1.75v is dangerous for amd. if u think it's high, most ddr3 in earlier days are rated @ 1.8v (mind u, that's only 1600MHz). but for i platforms, yeah, 1.75v mite be a 'lil too high...

Taking a short break

very nice review bro ah khoo and bro louis... does the 4gb per stick variant performs as well as this one?

sir louis did all d hard works, mine barely considered good...

tested 2 * 4GB for a day, 1600 @ 7-7-7 w/ 1.62v, 1800 @ 8-8-8 w/ 1.65v if i'm not mistaken... pretty sweet for 8gb setup...

huhuhu thats a very sweet setup indeed! havent the guts to push mine but ur results inspires me

thanks bro ah khoo!

anyone to share test for intel platform?sandy maybe?

read post #29 by sir louis bro...

I got 1 pcs winova 2gb pc1333. It use a-data chip. Which is better, a-data chip or elpida?

here u go..but trust me.. im a noob in intel..linX also donno how to use.. must be better under other's hand
1.66vdimm.. not refined yet..

izzit consider a good result ?

man.. i donno..wait for intel otais to come in and give comment
the fella i quoted asking whether can do 2k 8-8-8 1.65 and i show the ss above.. it can do better

i see
shall wait for expert to comment

great job there bro... 2k @ 7-8-7 w/ 1.66v is sweet!!!

if comparing the Corsair 1333MHz Gaming Ram which will be better ?

thanks for the feedback bro....
looks promising to me...
oh my 2k C7 i really awesome
will grab this kit soon...epilda summore

@hope_remember
this ram will smoke corsair gaming ram anytime....

regret getting my T elite value ram 2x2gb ..
cant even reach 800 at 9-9-9-x 1.65

thats another extra good feedback

consider of changing ram ?

kunta gotten a great pair, mine doesnt do it on sandy
but 1866 8-8-6-18 1.55v(bios) or 1600 7-7-5-18 1.5v(real) ain't too bad

izzit the overclocking is depends on motherboard or psu or something else ?

depend on motherboard, proc gem, psu and ram chipset
some value ram have a better chip compare to some perf ram which have cikai chip. thats why some perf ram have to many revision, but still cant reach higher OC. even this value ram (winova) have higher clock in OC

edited : oso depend on luck. sometimes 2 similar setup doesnt have 2 similar result

thanks for the information

Sandy quite choosy for the memory unlike 1156 1366 which can tighten so much.

i see
thats a good info for every future sandy bridge owner

the proc is dblooi's unit.. thanks to him. i think the IMC inside is superb.. kekke
grab one from hope_remember..

yeah.. lucky..i think im blessed liao .. very value for 150 kits..

haha
thanks for your support ~!

my latest attempt w/ thuban...

bumping old thread. my xtune was dead, so i decided to peel off the HS.
its Wnova chip

That time the ram RM75 for 2gb, and RM140 4gb.
Now 4gb only RM75.

But now cant fully use it since just got intel g630.
