ok i got some new memory today crucial memory 6gb worth. and when i look at CPU-z it says xmp-1334
what is XMP and what does it do... also my cas is at 7-7-7-24 but it looks like i can go 6-6-6-20 would i get better performance...
thanks new to the XMP
this is the memory i got 6gb worth
BL25664TG1337 - 2GB, Ballistix Tracer 240-pin DIMM (with LEDs) , DDR3 PC3-10600 from Crucial.com
XMP is Extreme Memory Profile.
I don't use it. As far as I know, it's for more aggressive memory settings.
I seriously doubt if you would notice the difference between 7-7-7-24 and 6-6-6-20 if your placebo effect is turned off.
ok thanks for the info sounds no need then for me to use XMP setting in bios
You can't control volts when you have XMP on? I adjust the voltage idependently and just let XMP take care of the timing and clock. Usually XMP gives better frequency as well as timing.
I use XMP for simple performance while maintaining stability. I can OC the CPU much more and/or drop the voltage some, but then, less stable and reliable.
