Adjust Gskill CL15 to run at 3600MHz RAM speed from 3000MHz
Adjust Gskill CL15 to run at 3600MHz RAM speed from 3000MHz
You're aiming for a stable 3600MHz RAM speed. Given your setup—Maximus XII motherboard, GSKILL CL15 with 8GB RAM, and YouTube videos using older ASUS BIOS—here are key steps:
1. **Check RAM compatibility**: Ensure your RAM supports 3600MHz (most modern modules do).
2. **BIOS settings**: Access BIOS/UEFI and look for memory timings or speed settings.
3. **CPU support**: Verify your CPU supports the required memory speed (usually 3200–3600MHz).
4. **Overclocking tools**: Use software like HWMonitor, Speccy, or MemTest86 to monitor stability.
5. **Stress testing**: Run stress tests to confirm consistency.
6. **Firmware updates**: Keep your motherboard and RAM firmware up to date.
If issues persist, consider consulting ASUS support or a professional for BIOS tweaks.
i have an i9-10850k, the timings seem to be 15-16-16-35 and the voltage is set to 1.35. i’m a bit confused about that, but it’s currently running at 3200mhz with those settings. i don’t have xmp enabled because it was already running at speed when i powered it up after building.
It's unusual. How do you confirm this? Suppose it holds, check with CPUZ to verify. If possible, try a 3600MHz setup. Make a bootable memtest86 drive. Adjust BIOS settings for XMP, change clock speed from 3000 to 3600. Set DRAM voltage to 1.5V (start at 1.35V). Modify timing parameters, begin with loose timings (15-16-16-35). Experiment with 20-22-22-44 first. Run memtest86 to ensure stability. If it works, lower CAS latency by one and recheck. Repeat for Trp and Trcd. Set TRAS = CAS + Trcd +2. Gradually lower DRAM voltage in small steps until errors stop or return to 1.35V. Possible ranges are 18-19-19-39 or 18-20-20-40, though results may vary.
Start by confirming the RAM modules available on the Thaiphoon Burner. This helps estimate timing compatibility for a 3600MHz clock. If the chips are Micron E-dies, they can operate efficiently at lower voltages, typically under 1.4V.
You have two XMP profiles on your BIOS, but you should choose one to use.
They were unclear, but it’s likely irrelevant because you’re going to adjust the settings later.
