RAM Timings

[purple_pizza]

Hi,

I have recently upgraded to http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-042-PA&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1389

at present i have found two boot able combination's- 7-7-7-20 @ 1224 MHz

8-8-8-24 @ 1530 MHz

I am running an i7-930 @ 3.2GHz on a gigabyte UD3R

just wondering which set of timings and speed would provide the best compromise

cheers

lower times = speed

higher mhz = more bandwidth

Tbh Id just run them at the rated 888-24 @ 1600mhz. They should have an XMP profile for you to just select in the bios if you dont know what your doing to get the stable manualy at the rated speed.

Didn't want to start a new topic.

Do RAM timings really matter if your not doing anything RAM intensive? I got told it doesn't make much of a difference if your not using a lot of the RAM all the time.

Everything uses the ram, you notice it mostly with things like video editing, folding and picture editing. Its apps that let the cpu stretch its legs.
