Initial adjustments to RAM timing boost performance speed
Initial adjustments to RAM timing boost performance speed
You're interested in understanding the performance potential of a Samsung B-die CL16-16-16-36 4X8GB kit running at 3600Mhz. It sounds like you're aiming for better speed without pushing XMP settings. Expecting tighter timings could mean improved frame rates or lower latency, depending on the workload and your system's capabilities.
CAS comes first, and adding 14 brings it down below the stock value. I understand now.
It really depends on the kit you're using. My 3600 cl14 b-die set isn't great for high speeds beyond its limits, but my 3200 cl14 b die kit really shines when pushing overclocking boundaries. Keep in mind that your RAM controller and motherboard quality also play a big role.
Sure, I understand you're not going to boost the XMP settings too much, just a slight adjustment to the clock speeds.
I understand your perspective, but the quality of your sample affects the timing options you can achieve. For primary timings, there are specific considerations; for tertiary timings, it depends on your platform. If you're using a Ryzen processor, the DRAM Calculator from 1usmus is useful, though simpler methods like testing at 1T timing may work but can be less stable with multiple sticks based on your setup.
I suggest lowering each value by hand unless it leads to issues. A DRAM calculator helps save time but isn't always reliable.
