heh - just deleted a load of text - yep that's the one. Was on disabled?

Save exit and then load up CPU-z.

Timings should read 9-9-9-27?

BeadyRoller · 29 Apr 2017 at 23:59

They are still 11-11-11-28?

What does the xmp value under the SPD tab display?

Plec · 30 Apr 2017 at 00:04

Checking your old memory values again...

(You did F10, select yes, and quit? - just checking)

Odd the link shows CAS 9 9 9 27 clicky

That is odd, what do you suggest? Maybe it's best waiting to see what 16GB RAM does for me, read a couple times that may help somewhat.

What does the part number say under SPD. It may be correct and that link has the wrong info.

Plec · 30 Apr 2017 at 00:14

It's not a problem - the BIOS will have read the memory correctly - may be wrong description in old link.

Plec · 30 Apr 2017 at 00:23

That is probably the xmp.

The 9 9 9 27 1600MHz at 1.65v has to be set manually as that's it's tested speed.

At least it's set via xmp now

It was a long shot - may yet pay off - but would be very fortunate if it did.

Off to bed now - hopefully we'll stumble across a solution before you stump up for a new rig.

It is KHX1600C9D3/4GX

Really do the extra 8 gigs solves my problem. When I install my new RAM is it the simple case of taking the existing pair out and replacing them with my new pair? Do I need to do anything else?

I'm afraid I have no idea if the extra 8gb will solve your micro-stuttering.

But you install into the slots your existing memory is in then set the xmp as you did just now. Job done.

That's slightly different memory to the OcUK link and it's xmp is 11 11 11 28 - so it's all good.

Right I really am off to bed now - all riddles solved

I'll have a think tomorrow but if you've tried all the nVidia control panel tricks I'm running low on ideas...

There are some BIOS settings we could change but again - long shots...

There we go.

Confused. You've got 1600Mhz RAM running at 1T?!? That should be 2T e.g.

dt97583 · 30 Apr 2017 at 04:20

Arggh, initial screenshot suggest 2T, quoted screenshot not, oh well.

Haven't changed anything in Nvidia control panel but like you said, it happened with an AMD graphics card as well but may be worth a go?

So there is something wrong with my settings? I'm not really sure what's meant to be right to be honest.
