Not bad timings for 1066. We should get a review for it and see if it can overclock at all. I personally havnt had any luck overclocking AData's ram modules.

2.0+or- .1V

Give it 2.4 and watercooling!

I neeeeeed! [tries to reach with short hands....]

Homeless · Apr 13, 2009, 03:34 PM

I wonder what it can do at cas 5 and 2.1v. The stock of cas6 and as low as 1.9v doesn't seem too appealing

OnBoard · Apr 13, 2009, 04:23 PM

They already have DDR2-1066 kits with 5-5-5-15 (Voltage: 2.2V ± 0.1V), but seem to like the new Gaming series. They are quite cheap, so might be an upgrade for me. Like others interested in what these can do with cas 5. My cheapo A-DATA value mem already does DDR2-940 with cas 5 and 2.0v with some tweaking.

Although at the moment I have no need for high FSB mem, plenty of multi.

aCid888* · Apr 13, 2009, 04:29 PM

I'm bored of seeing 1.8v 800mhz 5-5-5-15 kits get turned into 2 - 2.1v 1066mhz 6-6-6-18 kits.

Who wants more poor DDR2 kits? And for that matter, what kind of sap would you be if you get suckered into buying this because you see the word "Gamer"??

I have an idea; lets take a turd, slap some blue LED's on it and market it as "The worlds fastest Gamer turd" and see how many idiots buy it.

AltecV1 · Apr 13, 2009, 05:13 PM

nice do see a-data goming up with some new stuff

6-6-6-18 ewwww

WarEagleAU · Apr 13, 2009, 08:16 PM

not liking the timings. My Transcend aXeRams are better than that.

Wile E · Apr 13, 2009, 09:06 PM

Those are terrible timings. DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 is faster.

mandelore · Apr 13, 2009, 10:01 PM

isnt that like a back step? CL5 1066 kits have been around for like ages

Bjorn_Of_Iceland · Apr 14, 2009, 06:42 AM

probably would go 5-5-5-15 on 2.2V ± 0.1V. Lol same bannana

Hmm, my HyperX w/ D9's easily does 1066 w/ 5-5-5-15 @ between 1.86V & 1.9V

Meizuman · Apr 15, 2009, 12:56 AM

Hmm... my sticks (2x1GB) are good at 5-5-5-15 (1066) and 5-6-6-15 (1100)... well ok, they need a bit volts (in fact I don't even know if they need it) but they cost me only 42€ (about 55$) so I'm really not complaining... This kinda introduction seems just a bit outdated... wonder what the price is
