RAM Timings & performance problem

Last response: in Memory
Share

Hi

I recently purchased

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004QBUL1C/ref=oh_de...

And currently running at 1600MHZ thing is my windows rating index did not improve regarding memory.
Also My cas timings I think are incorrect on website they show 9-9-9-24 latency

but CPUID tells me different when @ 1600MHZ

Also I have not noticed that much difference within windows or any other usage. They are in dual channel slots and CPUID confirms this.

is XMP enabled in BIOS? that will give you a bit of a performance boost. On cpu-z, click on the memory tab to see what you have it running currently. The tab you are showing are the SPD profiles stored on the chip.

I think you might actually be running into a CPU/IMC bottleneck here. I noticed my memory score go up when I overclocked my 2500K. My current set of 2133 MHz DIMMs scores a 9.9 on Windows 8's WEI (7.9 on Win7) paired with an overclocked 2500K at 4.1 GHz. The memory controller in your CPU may be struggling to keep up, especially since AMD isn't known for making great memory controllers.

You can try to tighten up the timings a little, manually. Looser timings generally give you better clock speeds, but tighter timings will give you more throughput...until it crashes. Some ram just won't run stable the faster it's clocked unless the timings are loosened up a bit.
