Obviously the VLP can't compare to some of the mega 2133MHz kits in our graph so again we're looking at it up against the Corsair. Considering this kit is all about the low profile, probably even more than it is about low-voltage, the performance is pretty good. You have to remember we're running at a slack CAS11 here.
Demonstrating that, unless you're at the bleeding edge of performance, the latency is immaterial the VLP puts up a pretty big 50ns yet still keeps up with the Corsair.
Yes it's a, ahem, whopping 14 billionths of a second slower than our best performing kit. Sometimes people need to remember how tiny a nano-second is rather than fret it so much. Barring a score of 10ns of 100ns it's really not important what we get here. Ballpark is good enough.

We have, and still are, using some (approximately a 1000) sticks of Kingston at this height to ""upgrade"" computers as a ""refresh"".
This stuff has it's place and uses, and I'm very surprised about not being able to use less voltage.
1600 MHz C9 at 1.3v - I will try lower.
2133 MHz C10 at 1.45v
They not even warm at these settings.
I paid just £95.00 for the 16GB kit.
I'm running mine at 1866mhz but below are the confirmed stable timings. I've heard of people running these sticks at even lower timings though:
- 1600MHz (7-8-8-24 1N) @ 1.40v
- 1866MHz (9-9-9-27 1N) @ 1.40v
- 2000MHz (9-10-10-28 1N) @ 1.45v
- 2133MHz (10-10-10-28 1N) @ 1.45v
- 2400MHz (11-11-11-28 2N) @ 1.50v

With their own RAM sticks Samsung have redefined what we consider Low Profile to be. Does the performance match up?
