RAM Timings won´t change in CPU-Z

[NoGamesense]

Hey guys:)

 

This is my first post so please be kind.

I am very sorry for bad English, my mothertongue is German.

 

My system:

 

Motherboard: Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X @ 4.2 GHz on all cores

GPU: MSI RTX2070 Armor also overclocked ( Afterburner: Core Clock +190 MHz , Memory Clock +1000 MHz)

RAM:2x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z Black & White 3600 Mhz (CL17)

 

So I was getting into overclocking and was tweaking CPU and GPU settings when i noticed that my RAM was at CL22 in CPU-Z.

I went into my BIOS and turned off XMP and set my timings to 17-19-19-39-58 but the timings didnt change at all in CPU-Z.

 

 

How do I set my timings correctly so that they appear in CPU-Z correctly?

You're still running at 3600Mhz, so XMP still seems to be active. It doesn't appear that you actually applied whatever you did.

So if the XMP is still active, why is it running at 22-25-25-58-85?

I don't understand the question. From what I read, that was how you started. In other words, whatever you did, did not actually apply. Timings are always higher with higher clock speeds, but 22 CAS is particularly bad for 3600Mhz.

This is news?!?!

I have just reset everything and turned on XMP. The Memory is running at 3600 MHz but the timings are still CL22. I dont understand why...
The RAM Kit is certified for CL17.
I dont even want to overclock it, I just want it to run at the default 3600 MHz (17-19-19-39-58)

Then manually change to 3600 cl 17 19 19 39 58

Have to disable Gear down mode or the bios will change it to CL 18.

Is that a bad die?
I heard that samsung b-die is the best..
 

Today I finally managed to fix it. I flashed the BIOS with the newest version (F60). 
Then I set all timings and subtimings manually and luckily managed to get it stable at 3600Mhz CL16. 

 

Thank you guys for all the help!

How do I close this thread or mark it as solved?

B-die can do timings better tough it only matters for EXTREME overclocks, when it comes to MHz the Hynix CJR, DJR, Micron Rev E & Rev B are very good for average users or someone who does a minor OC profile.

 

Edit: that is fine tough the tRP should be same as tRCD if you wanna copy the spec of the XMP profile perfectly, how ever higher = more stable so if its fast enough now thats fine.
