Nvidia and Corsair Memory said Monday that they had developed an enhanced memory standard that will allow novices to overclock their systems with a high degree of confidence.
The capability will become available later this month, using the SLI-certified TWIN2X2048-6400C4 and the TWIN2X2048-8500C5 modules from Corsair as well as motherboards based on the nForce 590 SLI chipset from Nvidia.
Users will be able to overclock emphasizing either latency or pure clock speed, according to Nvidia.
The technology both companies developed is called the Enhanced Performance Profiles, an open specification developed by both companies and derived from the standard JEDEC memory profiles developed to characterize the memory modules manufactured by Corsair, Kingston, and others.
