While DDR3 memory has been out for some time now, manufacturers are designing new ways to remain competitive and increase the performance of its products. We have seen some of the most extreme designs with large protruding heat sinks and blazing fast speed that reach far past 2000MHz. The G.Skill Eco Series is designed for the Socket LGA 1156 platform, supporting both i5 and i7 processors in a dual-channel configuration. It offers fast speeds with low latencies and even lower power requirements, which make it environmentally friendly - hence the Eco Series brand. With lower power requirements come less heat generated and less power wasted, keeping the impact on the environment and your wallet to a minimum. With so many sets of memory from so many manufactures, you want to make sure you choose the best set of memory for your system. That is why we are here; to run them through the ringer and bring you the results so you can make a more informed decision. Next up on the test bench is the 2 x 2GB set of Eco memory with a speed of 1600MHz and designed to give you power without the waste.
