8 Packs 4ghz 32m Challenge win full Haswell 4770K Bundle.

Possibly the CPU yeah. Can always be the cause. Some Haswell, Ivy etc will not go as tight with certain settings than others.
 
Giga does well with PSC BBSE on AMD. Well it did for me for HWbot Vantage team cup.

I RAN 2200+ C7-9-7-18 1T. I think the ASUS Crosshair is the best AMD RAM clocker though.
 
You would be better with 9-11-11-18 and TWCL Tight mate. Also with these speeds on SB you will probably need IMC volts to run the timings not just frequency.
 
Eugh... so my TridentX 2600 kit came.

Won't even do stock timings. Scores 7s worse than with my ancient xms3 kit :(

I have the worst luck with hardware (at least when I buy it for myself).

If that Trident X kit is Samsung it will be weak. If its Hynix its the same BFR Kit I broke the world record with so believe me it should clock. On LN2 you can do C8 2933-3000mhz!!!
 
The same 1.85v I used the other day :)

I've dropped the memory down from 2624mhz to 2551mhz and managed to drop timings a fair bit. tRAS 15 is a strange one though I haven't tested it to see if it goes any lower but it is already ridiculously low.

It is indeed madness I have to say, this ram keeps surprising me at what it can tolerate, I knew it would clock well, just didn't expect it to do THIS well. Very happy :D

Persist with installing xp, you should see at least 4 seconds improvement, that's what I've managed anyway. Still need to tweak xp a little further though.

Is TRAS 15 helping?? Thats very tight. Even BBSE/PSC/ Samsung (very High Binned) are not going this low with these Mhz.
 
I'm loathe to put more than 1.7v through my sticks... I might push up to 1.74 or 1.76 for a final score once I know all the limits, if it's needed. I haven't seen a huge improvement going from 1.66 to 1.7 though.

These TridentX sticks are decent, but don't quite reach the clocks stated in most of the reviews though.

Trideent X are 1.85-1.9 Air sticks. 2.2v LN2 for best perf.
 
PSC 1.9v to scale. Get a fan on em probably not necessary though.

Could be sveral reasons why they are not going higher. As I said earlier my BBSE did on Giga passing vantage CPU test every time.
 
RAM is at the edge mate.

Let it rest and try again. Also dial in your settings. Like with my Trident I start at 2800C9 then 2933C9, then C8 then tune thirds then run. Only reboot or run 8m to dial in. But dont jump to top clocks. Force memory training several times!!!
