Pls. Help Ram and Timming

vegas311 · Oct 29, 2013

I need help I'm new to Z87 chipsets so I knew nothing but some basic OC from 775 sockets. setting my Ram @ right MHz with proper timming,.. Or just help me decide which of the 2 option I will list is better.

I have samsung 2x2gb RAM @ 667Mhz rating default @9-9-9-24

More infos:

Windows Performance index
MHz/Timming = score
1333/9-9-9-24 = 5.9
1066/7-7-7-18 = 7.6

CPU: i5 4570
Mobo: GA-D3HP
GPU: GTX 650 ti Boost
PSU: Coolmax 825 watts

So which one is the better MHz/Timming combination?

Coz I'm really confused why in WEI the Mhz is lower with lower Timming the better my RAM score but in 3Dbenchmark I got higher score when set to higher MHz RAM with loose Timming.

I have to choose between the 2 combination I list because I can't seem to go pass 1333 MHz even with auto timmings or default 9-9-9-24 and Cant get lower Timming not unless @1066Mhz. I don't know what's wrong. I tried adjusting RAM voltage,OC and UC but I can't successfully boot except set to the options I list. Maybe the board isn't good? or the PSU? or I just need more adjustment to the BIOS which im not too familiar with cause I just upgraded from socket 775.

Thanks a lot. Any help will be appreciated.

I would definitely trust 3D Benchmark more than WEI. WEI is very unreliable.

If you want a good memory benchmark program, get Si Soft Sandra (free) and run the memory tests.

Meanwhile, run at 1333.

Thanks yogi but yesterday i manage to run the RAM 8-8-8-20 @1400Mhz with 1.7 volts.. Do you think its BAD?

With a higher memory i dont know how it affect but i can OC my Gpu and Cpu higher.

Run the Si Soft Sandra Memory Benchmark with the different timings and see which gives the highest bandwidth. Then use that setting.

As long as the benchmark results at 1400 are good, I don't see any problem running there, but 1.7 v. is pretty stout. What voltage is your memory rated for? If it is 1.5 v. than I wouldn't go above 1.650 v.

Can check the DRAM by running Memtest on each stick by itself - 4-5 passes is generally good to identify if bad

Ok ill try sandra and memtest when i get home.,, dont know exactly the voltage rating but its written in it 10600 or something like that.

Oh anyway.. This is an old RAM from my 775 board. Before It runs @1.5V in CPU-Z with newly installed windows so i guess thats the default voltage. But current board under clock it as CPU-Z shows around 1.3-1.4Volts.

AFAIK, the only place where CPU-Z shows memory voltage is under the "SPD" tab. These are the standard settings that are "programmed" into the memory's Serial Presence Detect module.

If CPU-Z is showing 1.3 - 1.4 v., I would not go above 1.5 v. setting in order to preserve the life of the memory.
