Ram Tweakers Version DDR3

[Cold Storm]

If anything is over 1.6 I say there is a problem.. I've had the same effect on ram.. 1.4-1.5v can get you to the right spot.. anything else... you have a problem somewhere

never seen this thread

Relatively new thread; share some results! On that note I'm waiting til I get an i7 870 with 12x RAM divider and can do 2200+ at well under 200 bclk til I push mine more. $250 with tax at MC. Was gonna go today but now it's raining super hard though I can't decide anyway if I should buy right now with SB and mb further price drops coming.

heres a quick one without giving much effort. mushkin redlines, 1600mhz xmp 6-8-6-24-1T@ 1700mhz 7-8-7-26-1T 1.66v

Yeah dude, take a look at my mushkin 6-8-6 kit...6-9-6 @ 2000, stock volts.


Either you got a differnt kit, or something else is amiss... if ya need some suggestions for timings, PM me.

so you want me to list all of your memory at half speed?

sorry they are still set up from xs fixing them

stock Vtt?

no my bad I shoulda added it, 1.31 IMC/VTT volts. stock is 1.1

my imc is my problem, I took it to 2200mhz when I had a lynnfeild. clarkdale imc is trash, im gonna upp it another 100mhz same timings etc and see whats up

 

[cadaveca]

Yeha, after I posted I actually paid attention to your specs , was wondering if that was the issue. That's good info, thanks!

MetalRacer you got some read bandwidth numbers?

whats the volts your throwing threw the CPU? Since I went back to my Gigabyte, it seems that my UD7 is allowing the 870 to hit 4.3ghz (22x) at 1.35v vtt at 1.4

im getting close to my imc limit i think. 1802mhz 7-9-7-26-1t 1.67v dram 1.35v VTT sorry forgot to upload

 

[sneekypeet]

Updated....if you dont see your results posted, you either:
A) didn't read post #2 for a format.
B) Aren't supplying me with the volts (this is a help thread, not a e-peen session).

Roger Sneeky!
Please help to improve Latency or those values that matter for general use 8) I have a hard time making choises between 'auto' values, Aida64 values, and bios SPD values...

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah subtimings can be tough--there's not a lot of guidance out there short of screenshots and some (many?) won't really detectably affect either bandwidth or latency anyway. Tweaking them is time-consuming trial and error, really.

This is it exactly. It will take a bit of trial and error to see what the memory controller, the memory, and the CPU like the best.

 

[Cold Storm]

When you want to tweak the ram.. it can some times take just a day of testing before you can get right.. Oh, how I love Memtest86+.. lol

 

[erixx]

lol right

ButI don't need that much testing, first I need to understand all the TrC, TvT, TR, RT etc abreviations that are not always the same under all environments..., and then you have to "Performance", or 'Factory overclockings' profiles, which are really badly documentated... as they sell "1600" mobos and "1600" RAM, but then you have the small print saying: "overclocked values only available with certain mobos, certain manufacturers and certain BIOSes (and certain constalations in the skies...)

 

[sneekypeet]

your board will set the memory at 1600 with the XMP setting.
