Need help with memory frequency and timings with a 1600MHz CL9 kit
I recently bought the following RAM
Corsair 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz Red Vengeance Memory.. | Ebuyer.com
The advertised max tested frequency and timings are 9-9-9-24 at 1600MHz at 1.5v
When in my rig (see my system specs), they default at 9-9-9-24 at 1333MHz at what seems to be 1.6v (when I try to look at the voltage, I have to change it to see what it is so when I [+0.050], I get 1.65v).
These are the timings at 1333MHz
x6.66 Memory clock
9-9-9-24
tWTr Command Delay = 5T
Trfc = 160ns
Write Recovery Times = 10T
Precharge time = 5T
Row Cycle time - 34T
RAS to CAS (or CAS to RAS - I wrote it down as RAS to RAS) = 5T
When I up the memory to 8.00x to 1600MHz I get
11-11-11-29
tWTr Command Delay = 6T
Trfc = 160ns
Write Recovery Times = 12T
Precharge time = 6T
Row cycle time 41T
RAS to CAS (or CAS to RAS - I wrote it down as RAS to RAS) = 6T
If I change the timings and all to what they are at 1333MHz at 1600MHz i.e. 9-9-9-24
tWTr Command Delay = 5T
Trfc = 160ns
Write Recovery Times = 10T
Precharge time = 5T
Row Cycle time - 34T
RAS to CAS (or CAS to RAS - I wrote it down as RAS to RAS) = 5T
...without touching voltage (which seems not to go below 1.6v afaik) then I can't get Windows to boot properly.
Is there anything I can do to get the advertised speeds or should I just stick to 1333MHz?
Systems specs under that arrow thing
