**WANT 8GB 2400MHz FOR AS LITTLE AS £59.99 Inc. VAT? - THEN CHECK THIS THREAD OUT!!** (MV-3V4G3D/US)

[BrianB]

Glad you got it running well. Also did you try lowering the TRFC to 96 (if stable) then 114 then 128 etc? Mine run fine at trfc96. My motherboard defaults this to 160's I think..

 

[Buckster]

does TRFC make much difference ?

justr I'm using 200 atm ...

 

[BrianB]

Doubt it, I just like to have them as low as possible. Not like I will ever notice the difference, I'm a gamer.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Trfc is quite an important one actually. Definitely worth bringing down, can show differences in latency benchmarks I've seen.

 

[8 Pack]

Yeah tune TRFC down. It is one of the more important settings. Try 148,121,114,96 and finally 88.

 

[doodah]

So OcUK - when are you next putting the 8GB kits on special offer ?

 

[BrianB]

I haven't tried 88! Will have a go with it.

8Pack, can you advise lowering any other settings than TRFC?

My current is 2200MHz 9-10-11-21 1T TRFC 96 1.55V, I'm curious about the other timings, and things such as "Stability levels".

 

[8 Pack]

Stability level ??? Dear me either its stable or not.Not sure what that one does.

 

[BrianB]

Lol fair enough. Mine had loads of errors at 88 so put back to 96.

What settings do you use for:

tRC, tRRD, tWTR, tWR, tWTP, tWL, tREFI, tRTP, tFAW?

 

[8 Pack]

Not sure I have not clocked these for a while on Ivy.

It depends on speed too. Lower speed tighter they go.

 

[BrianB]

Having a strange problem, If I set an overclock for this ram it will boot. If I switch off and turn on in the morning the speaker will beep fast and it will reset it, then I just save the same settings and it reboots fine with the clocks. Only happens at 2200, fine at 2133.

 

[8 Pack]

Probably IMC volts problem or DRAM volts problem at start up. Increase a touch and retest.

It may also be a memory training issue with the CPU.

 

[BrianB]

It's hard to test it because it only happens from ice cold boots. I will try upping the IMC slightly, I added +0.010 to my VTT but didn't help...

edit: thanks.

 

[wazza300]

its probably dram if its cold boots,im running 1.55v same ram/board/timings and no cold bootups

 

[BrianB]

That is what I though too, I was running 1.55V but maybe my ram needs a little bit more for cold bootups. It's stable at 1.53V but won't cold boot at that.

 

[8 Pack]

Just put 1.6v and have done!!!

Hello,

Is this RAM still considered good value? I would be placing it with a 3750k and a ASRock Z77 Pro4-M Motherboard.

Cheers.

its good if you dont have a huge cpu heatsink to worry about,ram height clearance ect,the team group ram is good value too but it does have high heatsinks on the ram so might foul cpu heatsinks like the phanteks or noctua d14

 

[covenantuk]

If you need low profile so that your CPU cooler will fit it's probably the best buy.

If you need RAM that does 2133 there's others that you can consider at the current price point. When it's on special offer at OCUK it's definitely the best value out there though.

Just ordered some!
