How are these timings?

[John24]

While I save up for X79 I'm trying to squeeze more performance out of my RAM to improve video encode times. Even a 1-2 average fps improvement will help.

The MHZ has some more in it but not enough so I don't have to lower the rest of the OC. The timings are as best as I can get them stable but I put this system together over 2 years ago and have forgoten everything about OCing timings.

How do they look, shall I just buy some faster RAM?

Cheers Kei I'll give that a go tomorrow, what are safe volts for 24/7 use? It's at 1.755v for the above. The IC seems to be Elpida BABG but I can't find any info on safe volts.

should have mentioned I use a D14, unfortunatly those team extreem sticks are too tall.

It's just aswell the thubans need less volts, I struggle to keep it under 50c at 1.425v. Your Super PI time is better than mine too (17m49s).

wow really, loadsa room left then. Saw that XS post too, those timings are at 1600 and 1700 is about the limit according to that but I'll see what it can do.

That's good to hear.

I need to dig out a fan but I'm pretty sure heat is holding it back. Last night more volts just made it more unstable, this morning what wasn't stable now is untill I've been running it at load for a while so I felt the dimms and they are hot.

The machine is tied atm but I'll find a fan and continue later.

Sub timings, the ones not displayed by CPU-Z? I've never touched those so if there are big gains to be had there fantastic, I'll get some screenshots later.

Cheers.

Ok with 2 fans on the dimms it's still not stable, anything over 1.845v and it won't even boot needing a cmos reset to get back in.

Got stable at 1.785v 1666 7-9-8-18-18 and here is the bios screen which I hope shows the sub timings.

It's fun messing with OCing again although a pita when you have to clear cmos and set everything up again, can't wait to get a MB that saves profiles.
