SamSung 8GB C11 1600 Mhz Review + BenchMarks ~ Saad Reviews (Reviews + Benchmarks)

Samsung made very good performance products and they also made memories of PC which is not widely known.Today we take a look at their 8GB Kit C11 which is clocked at 1600 Mhz by Default.Whether they are branded so or not, the likelihood is that you have got some Samsung memory somewhere in your house.In fact it's probably very likely that you've got some in your rig. They have the number one market share on the planet of SSD drive memory, and over half the Memory kits that come through our offices have Samsung RAM on them.So of course it makes perfect sense for Samsung to release their own RAM kits, and they've been doing so for a long time now. The question has to be then, why are we reviewing one now? Well the kit on test today has three key ingredients that make it worthy of a look.Firstly, it's low voltage. If we were being completely honest, reviewing a 1,600mhz memory kit isn’t a very exciting process. There are literally hundreds of different 1,600mhz kits from manufacturers such as Patriot, Kingston and G.Skill.At rated speeds it runs at 1.5v, but by slowing the kit down you can get it down to 1.35v. Secondly it's pretty big being 4GB density sticks and so the kit we have here is 8GB. A nice amount for nearly everybody's needs. Finally it's VLP. Very Low Profile. In fact it's so low profile that it reminds me of the original 30 pin SIMM memory in my 386SX-16. However as only me and a couple of other people are nodding at this point, let's move on.

Technical Specifications

As well as a limited lifetime warranty we'd expect from such a major brand as Samsung, the VLP has reasonable timings, although clearly the need to shrink the RAM to such a short height lessens the performance compared to the 'big' DIMMs.

Speed (MHz) CAS Latency Timings Voltage
1600 11 11-11-11-28 1.5v
1333 9 9-9-9-24 1.5v
1066 7 7-7-7-20 1.35v
800 6 6-6-6-18 1.35v
