RAM, cas latency and timing

Shanksya · Dec 22, 2013

Im thinking of getting 16GBs of DDr3 1600 ram, and I have seen this one ram set that has a cas latency of 7. everything else usually has a timing of 8-8-8-24 or 9-9-9-24. but this set has 7-8-8-24, does the one 7 make any difference at all? link:

You won't really notice it but the 7 will be slightly faster.

That will make little to no difference.

The sweet spot for memory is now around DDR3-1866, most of the reviews I've read lately are happy with CAS9 as long as they get at least 1866 or higher, depending on what your board will handle. The real fast DDR3 usually runs CAS11, but is faster by a wide margin due to its much higher speeds -- 11 clock cycles is not very long at the much faster speeds.

Sweet set of sticks, should be fine with your rig....and can prob be able to run them fairly easily at 1866 if you want
