14 DAY TRIAL // GeiL may not have been especially noisy over the past months, even though other companies were quite eager to show off their various ultra-high-end DDR3 dual-channel and triple-channel memory kits. Some of them went all the way up, and over, the 2,500 MHz threshold in their everlasting quest to topple each other. Now that things have, at least somewhat, calmed down, Golden Emperor International Ltd., otherwise known as the Taiwanese hardware maker GeiL, has brought forth its own high-performance memory, the so-called EVO Two series.
The EVO Two is, at least for now, composed of two members, namely a 2GB dual-channel kit and a 4GB kit. For the former, GeiL decided it wasn't worth it to push clocks all the way to 2,500 MHz, settling, instead, for the frequency of 2,000 MHz, which can already be considered over the top even on the so-called performance market. The latter, however, does work at 2,500 MHz, which means enthusiasts will have plenty of resources to put their mad schemes into action.
The Evo Two DDR3 2GB and 4GB dual-channel kits have latencies of 6-9-6-24 and 9-11-9-27, respectively, and are specifically meant to be used as part of high-end gaming systems based on AMD AM3 or Intel P55 platforms. Furthermore, each of the modules boasts its own, newly-designed heatspreader. Said heatspreaders employ the so-called Maximum Thermal Conduction & Dissipation (MTCD) technology which, obviously, aims to keep the memory stable and cool, even when overclocked.
For added performance, GeiL threw in the DBT Enhanced and Die-hard Burn-in Technologies. Of course, enthusiasts will have to put together their own cooling systems if they truly want to go beyond the ordinary in their experiments. Unfortunately, there is no information, at this time, on when and where shipments will start, nor at what price.
