How can I run RAM Faster? Latency Help??

[erasmo84]

Hi everybody my question is: Can I use lower timing in this memory ram? If yes? Will that going to help on Windows 7 score/Rate?

another question is? I will buy the bulldozer, this processor it's going to work on 1866, can I overclock this Ram more than 1600... like 1866?

thank you

That memory already runs at 1.65v for 1600 speed, so it's not likely to overclock to 1866 speed.

You can try lowering the timings, but that will only help the WEI score a little bit, if any.

The Kingston HyperX T1 KHX1600C9D3T1K2/8GX DDR3 1600 can OC to 1866 or 2133 but I doubt you'll have the same luck with the more basic Kingston HyperX Blu doing the same, but the worst that's going to happen is a post failure or BSOD.

IMO - IF you want 1866 MHz RAM then buy a rated set.

KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX should render a WEI of 7.6~7.8 on Windows 7 x64. I wouldn't loose any sleep over WEI.

OC:
KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX 1600 MHz 9-9-9-27-2N @ 1.65v

Try 1600 8-8-8-24-2N @ DRAM Voltage ->1.65v and QPI/VTT/VCCIO/NB VID Voltage -> Auto/1.25~1.30v
Try 1800 9-10-9-27-2N {10-10-10-(28~30)-2N} @ DRAM Voltage ->1.65v and QPI/VTT/VCCIO/NB VID Voltage -> Auto/1.25~1.30v ; depending on your MOBO you may need to raise the FSB to 240~260 MHz.

note: DDR3 >1600 MHz should be run on 6-core AMD AM3 CPUs.

yes, im using 1600 on mi 1090t... but ill get the new bulldozer. i just want to know if i can save money overclocking these one. thank you very good information... ill do this Try 1600 8-8-8-24-2N @ DRAM Voltage ->1.65v and QPI/VTT/VCCIO/NB VID Voltage -> Auto/1.25~1.30v

Once you OC the RAM run Memtest for 4 passes or 2 hours, create a bootable CD/DVD using the ISO/zip file -> http://www.memtest.org/

Le me know how it goes.

Good Luck!

I'll do that man, I give you the results tonight thank you

Well I've seem that my RAM are damage. It's the third time that happend... even running them on stock speed.
Ill ask this in a new thread

 

[jaquith]

IF all you did was to 1600 CAS 8 and 1800 CAS 9 then there's no way that would or even remotely possibly could damage the RAM. IF you put some crazy +0.40v then that could do it.

Post the link here to new thread, I'm about done for today.

I just have it on 1600, it must be the motherboard. It's the third time this MB damage my RAM
