Ram speed higher , bench results lower ?

just updated aida

stock vtt/vccsa 1.55v dram,trfc is 88 or 96 I think not sure can do 2200mhz but the read/write/copy figures drop
 
Dropped SA, IOA/D and PCH to 1.181, seen a nice reduction in temps in game, (64c max). Also ran superpi 1.5 and no crashes, even managed to break the 7 min barrier. XMP on ram, cpu at 4.5ghz and stock cache.
 
Will get some dire single sided 2666 scores up shortly, show you all what your not missing (I can spank them with an 1866 c11 kit!)
 
2133mhz 9-10-10-21 1T was the most i ran the greens at on both z77 and z87. Could probably have went higher on the latter platform.
 
Z87+ loves to scale memory with volts well beyond the usual ~1.75v. One of my PSC kits scales all the way up to 1.88v! :D
 
Great thing with the greens was high clocks on low volts, 1.55 @2133, kit in sig does 2600 @1.75v.
 
Max voltage range for these are usually 1.2/1.22v, though you should only really need at most 1.15-1.18v. Also noticed you're on an ITX board, you may have less oomph to give the memory.

SA = System Agent, sometimes known as VCCSA
IOD = I/O Digital
IOA = I/O Analogue
PCH = Platform Controller Hub

DRV = Dram Voltage, should default to 1.65v under XMP conditions, no harm in bumping this to 1.68-1.7v

Hi pgi,

Having real trouble implementing those voltage settings. Found each section but can't seem to get any good boot. Bumped right up to 1.2v on each still as soon as I try c9 nothing. :mad:

Dram was 1.7v whole time. Going to relax and work backwards now.

Yep running mine (16GB - 8GB can be done on lower volts) at 1.625v at 2133mhz but with very tight secondary timings.

It may just be down to the motherboard, I wouldn't imagine its power layout is anywhere near as good as my X-OC :)

Its also possible your kits have different IC's to mine, my two kits were from the original OcUK batch, not the bought in batch for the easter sale.

Yeah quite possibly mate. Though this little z87n packs a punch its no match for the oc. :D

I have now just settled for the best i can manage with the c10 settings. Its the $$hi*y TRFC thats killing me here

anyway got trial aida64 will add mine soon
