Overclocking Memory

[Aontaigh]

I currently have Kingston HyperX Blue 1600MHz @ 2133MHz 10-12-11-28-1T. If I lower anything the system becomes unstable. I was wondering should I leave the tRAS at 28? What would be ideal?

The 28 in that line usually is around the first 3 added together (you are already well under that). That is going to be minimal increase. The 10 is the biggest. T1 is ideal. That ram is already running about as well as it can for a 1600 kit. Sometimes you can get a 9 on the first number, but not always.  x, y+1 or 2, y-1, sum of first 3 numbers, T1 if possible is all you can hope for on an OC. Past that is gravy. 

 

If the ram is stable at what you have listed? You got a very good overclocking 1600 kit. I wouldn't bother changing anything else. Prime 95 blend will usually crash it fast (within a few minutes) if it is unstable (and if your CPU can handle prime temps). memtest it overnight sometime.

If it is stable at 2133MHz 10-12-11-28-1T then leave it at that.
