hello all,

im looking for abit of help today overclocking my new ram, i only got it yesterday so want to get it setup and ready..
its the 1866mhz kit, model number CMD8GX3M2A1866C9
currently its running at 1866 @ 8 8 8 24 1T @ 1.55v

i just want to know a few examples of timing i could try.
also how do i know what to set bank cycle time (tRC) too? its currently at 45 which is unchanged.

thanks for any help
cheers for reading

Solution
Can try manually, set the freq to 2133, timings to 9-9-9-24, 2T, 1.6 and don't know what mobo/CPU but may need to add a tad of voltage to the MC (Memory controller)

just a quick update, speed is now at 2133 @ 9 9 9 27 36 1T @ 1.65v

still adjusting the timings but seem good so far
on aida 64 read - 15969mb/s write - 1172mb/s copy - 19792mb/s latency - 42.2ns

if im to lower the timings again, what would i go to next?
9 8 9........

cheers

cpu/nb voltage is at 1.206250..
tried it at 8 9 9 27 keep getting blue screen, i think that might be the best for it.
stock its 1866 @ 9-10-9-27-2T
now its 2133 @ 9-9-9-27-1T

bank cycle time (tRC) was originally was originally 45 its now at 36
