In short

Timings are just about exactly what they do in the definition of the word it'self, Timing.

So with 14ms is faster than 16ms and so forth. 

When you decrease the timing sets, it decreases latency or the time needed for reads, writes, and copies. 

 

Processor frequency plays a role also. You can increase read and write, copy times just by overclocking the processor for example. The latency will also decrease.

This is because the processor gets it's information directly from the Random access memory, both have effect on each other. 

I got it, thanks for explaining  Does this look alrigh to you Imgur

All I see is two SPD tabs in the screen shot.

If you'll recall I shared a link earlier to a program you can use to show us your timings.  Here it is again.

You could also think of RAM speed and timings as speed limits on the road and the length of red lights.  Higher speed limits mean you can travel faster and shorter red lights mean you don't have to wait as long while stopped.  

 

So if you can drive fast only to have to wait extra long at a red light then overall you arrive to your destination later.

I have the same CPU (2700x) and it's not very friendly with RAM speeds over 3000 but will run my sticks at 3000 without issue.

 

You can retry your XMP profile as before BUT before saving things with F10, check the RAM speed settings, drop the speed they will be set to run at down to 3000 and then save, reboot and see what happens.

Also make sure RAM voltage is set for about 1.35v's.

 

I believe that's the only real issue here - The CPU's IMC being what it is, can't quite get a handle on 3200 but should do 3000 like mine does.

That looks like you're running the XMP profile of your kit.

This isn't true.  If you have a capable motherboard and decent RAM then your odds of getting higher than 3000MHz is very good.  Now that obviously isn't the case for everyone, but not getting past 3000MHz is certainly not something you could assume of for most 2700X specimens.

Have no issues with 3600mhz tested stable with my 2700x. 

 

The Kit I'm using is F4-3600C16-8GTZ on Asus ROG B450-I gaming. 

 

Oh look! I'm getting to my 1000 post limit to this forum!! ..... Then I'm out.

@LadderOfChaos It looks like your kit's XMP profile only calls for 1.20V.  I make mention of this because that leads me to hope you have some overclocking headroom if you'd like to explore what more your kit can do.

No two CPU's are exactly alike and although there are tendencies you can't just lump all of them into the same lot that way.

What I suggested should at least get him going which is the immediate goal, THEN he can tweak things once that's been done.

 

As for mine, it's been in my X470 Tachi Ultimate and X570 MEG ACE so I know both boards themselves are capable. The sticks are good enough too and that's using a set of PC 3600's so there shouldn't be a problem there but there is with this one.

I mean he can try whatever he wants, all I can do is make a suggestion based on my experience like everyone else.

 

My goal is to get it going first with XMP, THEN see about 3200 once that's been done.

Wait, you de-lidded your 2700X?  How'd that work out?

Worked out pretty good. 

Still using the stock cooler too.

Sorry, going back I see that you only mentioned your CPU.  That's poor reading on my part.  What capacity kit are you using?  And luckily, he has gotten XMP up and running.  

 

Side note:  You don't want to combine PC with the MHz speed of a kit.  PC is bandwidth.  Though some may realize what you mean -- it's a better practice not to mix the two.

It's cool - I'm running a 2 sets of PC 3200 CL14 Flares (4x4GB total) in this setup.

Doesn't matter if I remove a set or pop in the other set(s), it does the same thing everytime. It's working well enough for me so it's a non-issue except when I twist the clocks up tight like this: https://hwbot.org/submission/4285521_

 

Did that not too long ago in the ACE using the PC 3600's and my 3600x chip.

 

BTW If he did get XMP going that's great!
