TeamGroup Vulcan 2400MHz Timing help needed at 2000MHz

John24 · 2 Apr 2014 at 20:45

Hi,

Just got this and I'm limited to 2000MHz by my motherboard, what timings and volts should I be aiming for at that Freq?

tried enabling xmp profile in the bios?

for 2400mhz try 1.65v and the rated timings for that speed should be printed on them

11-13-13-35 timings

No such option unfortunately on this old board, so I have to run it at max supported, 2000MHz, and tighten the timings as much as possible manually.

Currently got it at 11-12-12-30-42-1t on stock volts which I set quickly earlyer and seems stable but not tested yet, will have time to spend on it in the morning but not sure what the max safe volts I can push or what timings at 2000MHz should be acheivable with this RAM?

A bit of a search and OLDPHART has the 2133 version of this RAM running at 10-11-11-30-1t, so I suppose that's a good starting point.

What is max safe volts though?

Thanks.

I would stick to rated 1.65v they do run higher 1.7v but I don't think it'd be worth it

For 2000mhz/2133mhz you could do 9-10-10-21-1t timings and maybe 1.55v dram

2000mhz start with. 9-11-10-28 and work from that. Show us your Bios screen for RAM tuning and I can suggest other settings. 1.65v is fine you dont need to go lower.

Thank You both, just done a few quick tests and here are the results @ 2000MHz 1.65v.

9-11-10-28-2T Boots and seems stable
9-11-10-28-1T Boots but not stable
8-11-10-28-2T No boot
9-10-10-28-2T No boot
9-11-9-28-2T No boot

Will have to leave it now till morning, here are the BIOS settings. Again thanks for your help.

Leave at C9 2T then. Try dial down TRFC to around 124.

John24 · 3 Apr 2014 at 15:20

TRFC doesn't allow manual input unfortunately, next step down is 160 but it won't boot even if I slack the timings to 11-12-12.

Would upping the voltage help?

I've got this RAM and found that it's bloody awful when you to change the timings in any way.

John24 · 3 Apr 2014 at 21:29

I wish you had come along sooner, could have got something else.

For the price I wasn't expecting miracles but considering they are running 400MHz bellow rated I hoped the timings would do a bit better. My XMS3 is faster!

They are designed for Intel platforms so SPD is programmed for Intel CPU.

Thats why you are seeing a lot of these problems.

UP7 did not like RAM clocking so much Almighty15. I have one amazing on CPU, infact probably the best not so good on RAM UP4TH was the best Giga board for clocking RAM on Z77 Platform.

John24 · 4 Apr 2014 at 16:21

That's good news, I am planning to upgrade to Intel in the not to distant future. What board can you recommend for this RAM and a 4770K? I'll be looking to run the CPU a notch bellow needing silly volts for just a small bump. How about this one..

Decent board yes. XOC king in this price range full atx.

John24 · 9 Apr 2014 at 09:13

Ok thanks, just heard about haswell refresh though so will wait for that.

You were spot on with those timings (ofc) just got tRAS and tRC down a bit. Also gave 1T another go and strangely it's now stable, don't know why.

2000MHz | 9-11-10-22-36-1T | 1.65v
