RAM overclocking

Go to solution Solved by Rorgash,

i would just take your 1600 9 timing ram and increase the Mhz, that would be purely better, now how stable i dont know :P

Posted

So here's what i was thinking about doing.

 

Pushing my RAM as far as it goes and to get it stable enough for everyday use. Right now i have it at stock freq @1600MHz with 9-9-9-24 timings. I have got it upto (that was with a 101BCLK) 2160MHz @12-12-12-31 timings but that was only a test, games ran just fine but i was wondering how far can i go? All i am asking are suggestions on clock speeds and more importantly how to get the best timings possible.

My friend, you've made your RAM Slower! Or, at least the speed of data communication between your CPU + RAM. Unless you meant visa versa, your timings should go down/lower, not up!  :P

Realistically would you be able to to know the difference between 9 and 12 nanoseconds? I am mainly pinning for pure MHz speed which will need the latency to be adjusted higher.

How low do you think one could could go and keep good stability? 7-7-7-xx maybe?

Depending on what tasks you're doing on your PC, noticing the MHz is just as hard as noticing the Timings. Both are dependent on different tasks. So if your argument is you can't notice the timings difference.. Then, are you really noticing the MHz difference?

Because for Gaming, I would focus on Timings, not MHz. 1600MHz+ is fine for gaming.

 

And how low you can go will totally depend on your RAM & Overclocking skills.

dont know the exact math but for example 2400Mhz and 11 timing is just a tiny bit faster than 1600 with 9 timing

Really i couldn't notice the benefit and done for the fun factor it really is more for the bragging rights. Didn't have to touch the voltage at all.

I could give that ago.

For those wondering exact math. 

 

This is response time in milliseconds. 

 

Alittle over 2133 at CL12 might be just a tad faster then 1600 at CL9.

 

If it was me, I would aim for CL10 and 1866 range or slightly over.

Oh, cool. Thanks for the breakdown @Priller

 

It should definitely help others reading this thread.

Why overclock your RAM? Unless you're benchmark-crazed, it doesn't actually change anything in reality use.
