What speed is my memory suppose to be?

Gavsta220986 · Jan 31, 2016

I bought a set of g skill trident x f3-2400c10d-8gtx. The G Skill website states that this ram has a tested speed of 2400Mh but in my bios eache module states they only have a speed of 1333Mhz. which is the correct speed for this ram. Is it suppose to be 2400Mhz?

What is your motherboard?

Asus Maximus VI Formula

Ideally 2400, yes. That's what it's rated to. If on Intel and the CPU and mobo are capable of running it, should be a simple matter of enabling XMP in the BIOS and going from there - what mobo and CPU

Hello. My cpu is an intel core i7 4770k with an asus maximus vi formula motherboard. What setting should i set the profile of xmp to? Profile 1 or profile 2?

Tradesman1 · Jan 31, 2016

Profile 1 initially - profile is slightly higer performance wise, but would start with P1 and make sure all is stable. For 2400 sticks it may require a slight OC to your CPU

Cool. I was thinking of upgrading to skylake from this system. Do you think it will be wortht it?

Tradesman1 · Jan 31, 2016

It's nice but not really all that much of an upgrade, I built one for clients to see and can get hands on with it (though I do like being able to run more DRAM, have 48GB in at the moment and may jump to 64 before long

So would I be better off sticking with my haswel system until the next line of cpus come out?

Tradesman1 · Jan 31, 2016

If thinking of upgrading, I'd stick with the Haswell unless you have a need for say sumping to X99 and if you were to do that, I'd wait for the Broadwell-E CPUs to be released (they appear to still be thinking this quarter, but we shall see

)

Ok. I could overclock my system What would be the best air cooler for overclocking. I have a noctua nh-u12. Does overclocking decrease the lifepan of components? I heard it does.

Tradesman1 · Jan 31, 2016

If done correctly, I would say no, OCing isn't going to reduce the lifespan, I've still got a couple of rigs that date back to 2007 that are highly OCed in the family, that have been handed down a few times. Also the rigs I've built over the last 5 years (Appr 250) most all are OCed (I only build on K model CPUs) and all are running fine
