RAM Timings

[bartrocs]

Hi,

I need your help. I am looking into buying a 12GB kit of RAM but need your help to figure it out. I get all of the triple channel stuff. I was just wondering on the RAM timings, those 4 numbers, now, what should the value on each of those numbers be? I mean, should it be high or low. Ive tried to read up on RAM timings but frankly, I have been reading alot of quantum physics and my brain hurts. You help would be appreciated.

Thankyou

They should be as low as possible with the frequency high as possible.

[High]Mhz @[Low]-[Low]-[Low]-[Low]

Lower voltage is better for overclocking

Thanks. But does it really matter. Ive found aCorsair HX3X12G1600C9 12GB (6x2GB) DDR3 kit for a really nice price. I wont be overclocking heaps, just getting a 2600K to 5.0 ghz on water

well i dont think there are "bad RAM kits" as such, just some are better than others, as Fodr said high fequencies are better for overclocking

it got 12Gb of 1333mhz, but looking back i think it would have been wiser to go for 6gb of 1600/1800, as i dont really used any "RAM heavy" programs

If you're not gonna overclock heavily they should be fine (just dont buy the value stikcs)

12gb kit is for tripple channel dude. You need to be buying 2 or 4 sticks so 4 - 8 - 16GB kits for dual channel
