Komusa Adata report
Hey guys, I got a 2X512 kit of Komusa's 4200 Adata on Friday (nice red PCB). I actually picked it up at will call since I live close, and they said it would be cool.
Otherwise, I would have got it next week when I am too busy to play with it. Small little suite in Walnut, CA, but they said they are looking for a bigger location, so they must be doing well. I got a good feeling in there, as if they aim to please, rather than fleece.
So anyway, I plugged this baby in and it works like a champ @ 284 and 2.85v (my ASUS won't volt any higher). Plenty of benches and I played hours of UT 2004 without a hiccup (last time before vacation ends).
284 is the time-proven 3-D stable clocking for my CPU, although my highest 3DMark2001 bench is 3.56 (297) with a lot of air-conditioning, and I have actually booted into Windows at 3.6 (EDIT: NOTE THIS IS PRIOR TO USING ADATA, WHICH I HAVE NOT TRIED YET ABOVE 284), so long as I don't run anythng other than CPUZ or wcpuid.
I might try a higher clock just to see how the RAM keeps up, but it can cause data corruption and I actually use my PC unlike some bench mongers and work starts Monday so I can't be re-installing Winidows this week!
Oh, and for the "experts" on other sites that think that tight timings trump clockrates, well perhaps for Athlons, but not my Pentium:
