Because the actual bandwidth is so close, the lower latencies pay off more. I'd give credit to whoever mentioned that before, but I'm too lazy to look to see who it was.
Sounds like a good plan.
1T can add in 300-500MB/sec, depending on overall ram speed. Some times more, sometimes, less...
No problem! I'm learning here too...not so much about the memory, but definately about your board!
Write recovery time = 6......this should go to 8 above 1000mhz.
Precharge time = 4.......5 might bring more stability, but of course, tighter beings more performance....best to try and see what works best for you.
Row Cycle time = 24.........TRC is a very important timing. UP will slow the mem, down, more performance. 20-26 is normal settings, and you are right near midway..seems good to me, but again, play with and see what's best.
RAS to RAS delay = 3....this won't hcange much, no matter what memory is installed. as teh frequency goes up, so must this timing..but..for example, with DDR3 @ 1733, I run 4. You won't get 2...but going up won't give you much either.
I love doing this stuff...companies could send me parts, let me play, and I'd be more than willing to report back and send the stuff back, no cost to them. Going back in the past to like D975x chipsets, I've been talking about settings we needed as users long before they were available. My OCD means I try everything...even if there is a bit of a formula for these settings. We really need this info out for AMD set-ups, as many people, including OEMs, are pretty lost when it comes to mem tweaking on AMD...AMD seems to love Samsung HCF0, and the new elpida BBSE memory ICs( for DDR3)...but bios support must be there first, as there are far more timings that we just don't see.
FYI...4-4-4-12, or 4-4-4-15 is best for your DIMMs, and hence your issues going lower. Typically, you add up the first three to get the fourth...OK?
100% agree memory tweaking is a art, company's need to guide us better to what setting is what, for me i learned the hard way with this m2n sli-deluxe, its sad for a old motherboard it has loads of memory tweaking options, i've found on average most new motherboards don't come even come close to what the m2n-sli deluxe has, this is why i don't prefer gigabyte for am2/3 socket, not sure about intel though
