Such is the ease with which Sandra separates the Memory from the rest of the system, it's very clear which are the four 1600MHz kits in our graph. As we'd expect the Samsung is close to the rest, but still a shade behind. Considering the other sets are CAS9 and this is CAS11, it's very much all about the MHz on Sandy Bridge.
In the Cache and Memory bandwidth we get our first real drop-off from the Corsair LP to Samsung VLP. Quite a surprising amount less to be honest. We've had hints that it is just behind the rest, but not to this degree.

This vlp isn't so much of a redefinition.
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.

wow!!! they're sooooo cute!!!
I have seen this ram (or similar one) overclock 2200-2500mhz and the timings reduced at 1600mhz.
Nice review. These sticks do redefine what we think when it comes to low profile. It's a shame they don't perform better.
I just got them, they are amazing.
1600 MHz C9 at 1.3v - I will try lower.
2133 MHz C10 at 1.45v
They not even warm at these settings.

I've just seen this review and I can't believe you didn't play around with the timings a little bit more.... It's amazing ram and even more amazing performance for the money. This review really doesn't do this RAM any justice.
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?
