Looking for advice on boosting RAM performance?
Looking for advice on boosting RAM performance?
So i'm mixing two ram sticks—Corsair Vengeance at 2133mhz and Corsair XMS3 at 1600mhz. Right now, my ram runs at 1800mhz. My specs are I7 4790, GTX 1070, 16gb RAM, Z97 gaming 5. The recommended settings for Vengeance are 11-11-11-27 and for XMS3 are 9-9-9-24 at 1.65v. I'm close to getting a stable 240 fps and trying to overclock the ram. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😀
run the two pairs of RAM at 1.65V and 1866Hz. For timing, consider this sequence: 9-10-10-10-26-1T. I previously used DDR3 1600 2x4GB with different sticks, testing timing with:
Primary: 9-9-9-24-1T
Secondary:
Row Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC): 160
Row to Row Delay (tRRD): 4
Write Recovery Time (tWR): 10
Read To Read Delay (tRTR): 4
Read To Write Delay (tRTW):6
Write to Read Delay (tWTR):5
Write to Write Delay (tWTW):4
Read to Precharge (tRTP):5
Four Act Win Time (tFAW):16
Write CAS Latency: 8
Refresh Period Interval (tREF or tREFI): 6240
I set this up manually and noticed significantly lower latency, which also boosts read/write and copy speeds. This is my timing for DDR3 1600; you might try it if booting fails, adjusting each timing except tREF. Increasing tREF/REFI improves speed but reduces stability.
