Can you OC timings w/ freq on RAM?

Kunschner · Apr 24, 2014

So the RAM I bought was listed at 1866 CL-9. But on the module itself it says 1866 CL-10.
Now, it runs natively(?) on 1600 CL-9, but capable of up to 2133. SO! Can it be run on 1866 w/ CL-9?
Here's the RAM in question: http://patriotmemory.com/product/specs/PVL38G186C0KB.pdf

PC3-15000 (1866MHz)
10-11-10-30
PC3-12800 (1600MHz)
9-9-9-24
your ram can run at those two states.. xmp will set 1866mhz 10-11-10-30. aparently 1866mhz cl9 was a misinformation. you could use manual setting and blend the timings i suppose but you will probably run into stability issues. i would stick with xmp settings. anyway there isnt much of a difference between these two profiles.!in everyday use and gaming expect roughly the same performance

It's on an AMD system and mobo is 1866 and 2133 only. Though they say it can run on AMD chipsets (Patriot, not retailer). It was an alright deal though. I'll be sure to put this in the review.
Thanks.

there isnt such thing. you can practically use everything up to 2133mhz(depending cpu-mobo combo). your ram cannot hit 2133mhz though.

No such thing as what? Patriot also says it can hit 2133. (Though I'll run it at 1866)

'' mobo is 1866 and 2133 only'' there isnt such thing.you can run 1333mhz or even 1600mhz with your ram with lowered timings. what is your setup?

you have a very nice mobo. you can config everything through bios. with your cpu and ram 1866mhz cl10 is a nice fit and you should stick to that.
