Transcend unveils aXeRam overclocking memory

Press release, August 22; Eric Mah, DIGITIMES Asia

Transcend Information unveiled its aXeRam overclocking memory line up which use premium chips. Designed with gamers and power users in mind, aXeRam delivers superior overclocking performance while maintaining system stability, according to Transcend.

Transcend's first aXeRam product is the 2GB 240-pin DDR2-800 aXeRam dual-channel overclocking kit. The kit includes a matching pair of high-speed, pre-tested 1GB DDR2-800 modules with high-quality heat sinks. Transcend's DDR2-800 aXeRam dual-channel 2GB overclocking kit uses six-layer PCBs that fully comply with JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) standards. The 240-pin DIMMs included in the kit are each made of 16 high-quality 64Mx8 DDR2 FBGA chips. Each chip is selected with the strictest quality standards and is manufactured using small FBGA packages to assure better thermal dissipation, electrical efficiency and overall improved performance for overclockers.

Transcend's 2GB DDR2-800 aXeRam dual-channel overclocking kit's two identically matching modules are specifically designed for use in dual-channel configuration, which provides memory bandwidth of up to 12.8GB/s, according to Transcend. Enthusiasts will appreciate the included custom high-purity aluminum heat sinks' distinctive styling and superior heat diffusion characteristics.

To deliver higher performance while maintaining stable operating conditions, Transcend's aXeRam 2GB DDR2-800 dual-channel overclocking kit operates at CL4 at the standard 1.8V voltage without the need for over voltage. The lower latency equates to shortened system delay times and faster read/write speeds. Compared to ordinary DDR2-800 CL5 modules, system performance gains of up to 10% are possible with true CL4 memory, according to Transcend.

Transcend's 2GB DDR2-800 aXeRam dual-channel overclocking kit is now available on the market for a suggested retail price of NT$3,560, according to the company.
