Ram experiences significant delay in performance.
Ram experiences significant delay in performance.
The RAM is experiencing high latency due to a mismatch between reported and measured values. The listed specs show a CAS latency of 19, but benchmarks display 65.7ns, which seems unusually high. This discrepancy may stem from testing conditions, measurement methods, or firmware behavior. Ensure the benchmark aligns with the actual hardware configuration and environment.
Are you considering adjusting the timing, lowering it, or keeping it on auto in BIOS? There are tools available to simulate these changes, but it's best to test gradually. Be aware of potential issues if timing is incorrect—such as system instability or performance drops. Regarding RAM, a 2666Hz CL15 is not compatible with the Z390 E GAMING motherboard; only 2666Hz CL15 is listed.
Push Ram into instability and... you might damage your files just by opening them. Windows OS and games can crash or get corrupted, making it impossible to open them again—forcing a reinstall anyway. This cycle continues unless you address the root issue with faulty RAM. Understanding RAM and overclocking requires patience; RAM overclocking carries risks to data integrity and complicates reinstallation. Invest in better RAM if you value low latency or prefer long-term overclocking. I’d rather enjoy games than struggle with a slow BIOS. If your PC is used for earning money, stability matters more than maximum speeds.
