Variations in speed while keeping the same timing – does it perform well?
Variations in speed while keeping the same timing – does it perform well?
I possess a 1333Mhz 9-9-9-24 DDR3 stick and can't locate another with these precise speeds. I noticed 1600 at 9-9-9-24. If you connect both the 1333 and 1600 sticks, will the 1600 maintain 1333 speeds? Their timing settings remain consistent unless changed. Generally, the four speed numbers matter more for dual-channel performance than just the frequency.
When it’s configured automatically, mixing brands and timing can cause inconsistencies because each system may prioritize different factors.
Settings are at the minimum speed with the longest timings. Combining memory details like brands, speeds, and timing reduces your memory bandwidth. It's best to use identical configurations for maximum performance. Mixing XMP/DOCP profiles will cause issues when combining different kits.
