I have two sticks of Crucial DDR4 ECC 2666 MHz memory - CT16G4WFD8266. It is a Micron chip underneath, rated at 19-19-19-43 timings. My Xeon E3-1245 V5 drops the frequency to 2133 MHz, despite Gigabyte GA-X170-Extreme ECC supporting higher frequency RAM, but the timings remain at CL19. It's obvious that i will not tolerate this, therefore my goal is to get the RAM working as if it was a Crucial DDR4 ECC 2133 MHz memory - CT16G4WFD8213 chip, and the only thing i know about it is that it is rated at CL15, but i do not know the tRAS, i only know it works at 15-15-15-X.
Question 1: at 2133 MHz CL15, what tRAS should i aim for?
Question 2: can DDR4 ECC be safely used with higher voltage 24/7 of time?
If i could increase the voltage from 1.2 V to 1.35 V, i could aim for CL14 or lower. Is this practical for Workstations?
I would like to get answers form people who actually deal with Workstations, not speculative thoughts from random by-passers.
Got my dual channel RAM working at 15-15-15-33. Additional tweaks: tRC set at 47 from 61, tRFC set at 260 from 467. So far works fine, but have not tested prime95 yet. Will report later.
