Greetings all,
I have access to tweak my RAM timings in AMD Overdrive (but not in the BIOS).
However I am a bit worried about doing this.
Is this even possible (I have available options so I know I CAN, but I fear it may just lock up my system the moment I do).
A8-7650k 3.3Ghz with iGPU 720Mhz (overclocked to 960Mhz, stable)
Hyper 212 Evo
[BCLK 100Mhz] <- not changed, yet...
A68HM-E33 V2 (added copper heatsinks + direct fan to cool VRMs)
CX600w PSU
2x8Gb Crucial (normal - NOT ballistix or anything) RAM, 1600Mhz@CAS11 (which bumps to CAS13 timings when overclocked to 1866Mhz in BIOS).
I've been using 1866Mhz overclock for over 6 months (at 1.5v)
BIOS memory timings are greyed out but memory frequency can be OC'ed & has been, successfully from 1600Mhz -> 1866Mhz
But in AMD Overdrive, under the Memory tab I can tweak/tighten the timings.
1.) what are the chances my system will simply lock up with AMD OD memory timing tweaks?
2.) if I OC/tighten the timings a little, and the system freezes, because this is an in-Windows OS Overclock, what are the chances I will not be able to revert the timings to their original specs?
I.E. Bios reset - would that reset timings as well, if amended?
3.) finally, anyone else, played around with memory timings in BIOS and/or in OS?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers
