Hello fellow computer enthusiasts!
I am hoping someone is able to give me some guidance on some RAM information I am having trouble with...
I keep seeing, as I read around various subjects, people mentioning setting RAM timings on their motherboard to match the DIMMs. I have been recently trying to research this topic, but I cannot find any comprehensive information on it. I have simply seen advice to set your motherboard close to your ram timings, but not too tight or you will cause system instability.
Well my question is, is the process as simple as it sounds? Are there any rules of thumb? Or most preferrably, does anybody know where I can find out more about this subject that would be more than just a vague paragraph saying be careful not to do it wrong without describing what wrong is :/
Any information on this would be extremely appreciated!
Edit: To clarify, I am familiar with DIMMs in general as well as the timing of the individual modules, their meanings and all of that. My confusion arises from configuring the motherboard to more effectively use the RAM by setting the timings... When one would feel the need to set the timing as well as how careful one should be, when it is set well vs when it may cause system instability.
