Memory timing advice

Phunky Phish · 26 Oct 2006 at 10:54

Right, my PC is stable and I am running my memory at 2.2v, 485MHz
and 4-4-4-12 timings.

I was wondering what timings to change to tighten up and speed it more?
And how they change it?

Any advise would be real helpful.

Cheers guys

485 & 4-4-4-12 not fast enough??

If like your sig suggests, you are running corsair XM2 6400 stuff then 960-970MHz (or 480-485) @ 2.3v on 4-4-4-12 timings are about as good as it gets. You could drop the timings back to 5-5-5- and up the FSB a bit but prolly wouldn't see any better performance, you could drop the tras down to 8 probably but only for a ~1% performance boost.

OK, so I have pretty much been lucky and maxed out the settings from the off

dunno - you could be lucky and have a really nice set with another 30-40MHz to go, or you could be right on the edge and another couple of MHz would be enough to render them unstable...
