Removing my ram divider..?

Hi all

Currently got my 3700 @ 2.7ghz (250x11). The ram is on the 166 divider? And at this clock it's currently at 190mhz.

What would happen if i were to remove the ram divider? Just out of curiosity... Ram is some kingston value :/

Also i cant go any higher than 2.7 because of the motherboard voltage limit.

Ah i see.

As for other dividers, it's only 133, 166, 200. And how would i go about tightening the timings on the ram?

Go into the BIOS, lower a value, use memtest86+ test 5 to see if you get errors.

What values would that be?

I take it you have cpu z? Post the memory tab please.

As requested (sorry for quality, on a new install so no photoshop)

Well the cas froze at 2, and the tRP and tRAS both froze when i altered them... I guess the timings will be staying at default then

Thanks for the help anyway guys

and you learnt something new

Indeed i did

So if the timinigs were tighter, how much of a performance increase would i have seen? Is it hardly noticeable?
