Ram Overclocking Question

[KapteinFruit]

So I got my Mushkin Redline RAM today and I decided to try and do a little RAM overclocking. I'm not familiar with overclocking RAM so all I did was to up the speed to 2010MHz and up the three first latencies until it was stable which it was at 2010Mhz 8-9-8-24. Is this a good over clock? Is there anyway to lower the latencies? I'm very, very, very happy with the RAM for those who cares.

Seems like some very solid RAM.

Seems pretty nice

What kit is it?

It's the [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]PC3-12800 Mushkin Redline 1600MHz 6-8-6-24. Was that what you was wondering about? Or do you mean like the long weird name with many different numbers and letters? if so then I have no idea. It doesn't say at the online retailer or the RAM packaging It might say on the RAM sticks, but they're hidden under my D14.[/font]

No that's what I was after

Very hefty OC you got there

One of the fellas from mushkin had a crack at the same kit http://forums.mushkin.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15322 Think you've got a slightly better set

Ok

I was recommended the Mushkin Redline RAM by a friend of mine named David. He says it's the best he's ever used. Check his videos if you want too. He makes some sick videos. Got a crazy rig too. I mean REALLY crazy. He gave me Corsair H50 for free too!!!!

Anyways, check him out. http://www.youtube.com/user/Trubyd44

that guy seems to have better timings cas 7,i woukld use tighter timings IMO

Speed is more important then timings when it comes to DDR3. And I might be able to take that 9 down to an 8. Going to try later today.

cas8 would be better

cas8 would be better

Yup, of course it would be better. But as I stated in the thread, I'm not very expirienced with over clocking RAM. A person asked me this on another forum and I didn't understand anything of what he asked about:

Good way to test Ram is Prime95 Large FFT, Custom 4600MB Ram set.

And CL8 2000Mhz is already low timings, i dont think you should expect anymore out of them.

Real world performance increase is negligible, benchmarks using Ram may improve, but after 1600Mhz you really are not going to gain much.

Its quite difficult to stablise such a high CPU and Ram OC, have you passed Prime95 Blend with 4600Mb ram for atleast 8 hours? Im sure your straining the Uncore at these freq's.

You can use Everest to see the Read, Write, Copy and latency of the ram. Or MaxxMEM2 is pretty cool.

Faster speed will always be better than lower timings.

What command rate are you using? 1T gives a big performance boost in benches over 2T.

How much Voltage you pushing on the Ram and QPI/Vtt?

Cas 8 2000 is about as good as youll get tbh without volts. Some of the silly expensive stuff goes lower but thats the premium cherry picked stuff.

you got a good batch....i wouldn't expect more out of it....

have you run the everest cache & memory benchmark??

I would be curious to know your scores....they should be in the 18000-21000 range (across the board)....latency should be around 38-42 ns.

sometimes the "speed" and timings aren't the only things to look at

I have gotten astounding 25k read/write/copy across the board in everest with timings as loose as 9-11-9-31 (patriot Sector 5)

p55 will score a bit better than h55....
