I don't know about anyone else but I just assumed that XMP kits sold by the likes of G.Skill would all be advertised to operate their timings at 1T.
The problem is that brands don't specifically state what command rate the RAM is tested for unless you happen to read a review that specifically mentions this. For example I bought the 3600C15 G.Skill kit and I kept getting memtest errors at 1T and XMP. It was only until I read a review that I knew XMP was ran at 2T: https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7...6gb-dual-channel-memory-kit-review/index.html and my memtest was then stable. Even Patriot's famous 4400C19 is guilty of not publically disclosing 2T. This is the only source I could find that states command rate: https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/8...treme-performance-ddr4-4400-review/index.html
I honestly wonder how many RAM kits were returned due to just thinking 1T was the standard modules were tested too. This information is not readily available on a manufacturers website and in my instance 1T is the default command rate for the motherboard I used. Talk about a recipe for disaster for people less technical.
I've looked at the G.Skill 3600C16 kits and I can't get concrete evidence of these being ran at 1T or 2T because to me I believe this brings up a very good point in accurately assessing bin quality. For example, theoretically would a 16-16-16-36 1T 1.35v kit actually best a 15-15-15-35 2T 1.35v kit in bin quality?
Additionally, is there any brands that actually advertise all XMP kits at 1T? Can anyone give any insight on this?
