Further memory tweaking

Winston · 21 Jan 2013 at 15:24

Hi again

So I've now managed to get these tight timings stable

Is there anything out of sync that you can see with my timings? Do certain timings have to relate to another for example?

And what timings should I aim for on which?

Thanks for taking your time to help me in advance

tWR 10, TRFC 107 and try tune top 4 thirds as seen on mem tweak it.

Winston · 22 Jan 2013 at 10:33

I have tuned top thirds but unsure how low to try with them?

8 Pack · 22 Jan 2013 at 14:44

Until they are unstable. 1 Clock is the aim on all.

Winston · 22 Jan 2013 at 17:44

Ok thanks, currently testing

What would you use to test stability as running prime blend for hours at a time is becoming increasingly tedious...

Winston · 22 Jan 2013 at 20:53

Well that seemed easier than I thought it would be...

Ran AIDA64 stability test for 2hrs and Prime blend for an hour and seems stable...?

Anything else I can tweak please fella?

Looking good winston, i'll have another pop at mine at the weekend. I see your pll is at 1.9v does that help overall stabillity?

Does your bios show all ram settings if so can you post pics?

Winston · 22 Jan 2013 at 23:07

Yeah seems to help make mine more stable, most say 1.65 but mine seems to like it higher

Will upload you some pics tomorrow fella, as pc's currently being stressed, for a change, lol

Here's some pics from an old thread before I got into tweaking, using my old ram

Nickolp1974 · 22 Jan 2013 at 23:17

Appreciate it thx, i'm giving up on pushing frequency to far, i just dont have the knowledge to make them work and to be more beneficial or my hardware is not up to the task.

Do you or 8Pack know what the (think its??) ddr ref voltage is for got 4 of them so presume its the 4 ram slots?

Edit

Here they are

Yes run em at -35 and aim for 2900 plus tighter!!!! with 1.75v.

Lol yeah, but without going that far, what would you lower next?

8 Pack · 24 Jan 2013 at 09:26

You are in a good position now. Try going tCKE 5 and tWCL 7. May or may not work!!! Try tuning the two third level timings you have at 4 down also. Those at 5 leave as they are needed for stability. Again this may or may not work but is worth trying.

Winston · 24 Jan 2013 at 09:29

Ok thanks, is tFAW worth working any lower or no benefit?

8 Pack · 24 Jan 2013 at 10:11

No benefit.

Nickolp1974 · 26 Jan 2013 at 12:07

Ii have gone back to the drawing board at the mo, last beta bios was not great for me.
Currently primming with a x45 multi and 102 bclk giving
4590 and 2448
Vcore is at 1.336, all ram timings are currently on auto
Pll 1.6v
Io 1.2450v
SA 0.9850v
PCH 1.0685v
Dram 1.655v

Now when i start to tighten up and it goes unstable, is it just the dram voltage i touch if the above is fully stable??

Winston · 26 Jan 2013 at 12:56

I'd up the Dram to 1.68 to start with

What timings is it listing as AUTO as a few of them might be too tight already...

Winston · 26 Jan 2013 at 12:57

Also try Pll at 1.9 to see if that helps, as mine prefers it at the higher end

Nickolp1974 · 26 Jan 2013 at 13:22

still primming at mo, had to knock vcore up notch

Nickolp1974 · 26 Jan 2013 at 13:24

plenty of room for tweaking, just want to get system stable first, another 20 mins then i can start tweaking unless it throws up an error!!

Edit, nearly forgot, just updated your trust, thx bud
