Conclusion
With an approximate cost of £120 inclusive of VAT, the G.Skill ECO 1600MHZ cl7 low voltage kit is something of a mixed bag when compared to the cheaper cl8 revision. Costing a little more than other 1600mhz kits on the market with similar latencies, the ECO cl7 kit doesn’t really bring anything else to the table other than the lower initial operating voltage. As the ECO kit overclocks very well, but to a level comparable to the cheaper cl8 kit, it would be hard to recommend these modules over the cheaper variant. As previously noted, the low voltage requirement of these modules is a bonus and many other manufacturers will probably jump on this too. When a kit offering performance only a shade behind; at a price that really makes a difference then this kit cannot get the full recommendation.
Pros
- Out of the box performance
- Overclocking ability
- Aesthetics
Cons
- Inadequate Packaging
- Cost when compared to its cheaper equally exciting brother
OverclockersTech are pleased to announce that the G.Skill ECO low voltage dual channel memory kit has been awarded a SILVER award.
OverclockersTech would also like to thank G.Skill for the review sample.
