DRAM timings

[IAmAFrenchFry]

My friend and I are trying to see who can squeeze as much performance out of their system as possible, ya know, as kids do these days.

 

We started with manually tuning our RAM. We both have 16-19-19-39 3600MHz kits, but through our OCs we got different results, as you do (both of these were tested with MemTest86 with 0 errors). I got 16-18-17-18-36 (along with a bunch of other things I changed), while my friend SOMEHOW managed a tCL of 13, however most of his other numbers were worse with 13-19-17-19-39. I have come to the lords and ladies of things I don’t understand to ask which one of these is better (and why because yay learning).

 

We are also on Ryzen if that helps because I know it likes good RAM.

 

Thanks!

CL13 is incredibly low. But you can use aida64's memory and cache test feature (just uncheck cache check to not do that every time) and you can check!

Gonna need more details on your friend's setup.
