Hi! I'm a little confused, can someone please explain to me what my XMP is doing here...?
I have read that generally, lower timings are better, except for TREFI which is a refresh rate setting, and with this a higher timing is preferable.
When I enable XMP, it makes only these changes to XTU's reported default ram timings:
TRRD 5 default - 6 XMP
TFAW 24 default - 30 XMP
TREFI 6240 default - 6200 XMP
So it seems XMP is changing the timings to be slightly worse for all 3.
The Corsair site says XMP gives a safe overclock - so, is this because with these slower timings, it would then be safer to bump up the actual memory frequency...? Is this the reason for it?
I am running 2 x 8gb corsair vengeance sticks, 10-10-10-27.
...Thanks in advance!
