RAM Timings

[manolz]

Ok I upped DRAM to 1.65, this is a report on my Patriot PSD32G16002 2GB(x2) 12800 1600MHZ CL9

CPU-Z reports that your RAM is running at 800 MHZ per stick which is 1600 MHz.

Heres a report on Sektor 5 (DRAM 1.65, timings @ 9-9-9-24 in BIOS)

looking forward to replies

thanks

CPU-Z reports that your RAM is running at 800 MHZ per stick which is 1600 MHz.

Shouldn't each 2GB stick be running at 1600mhz? Or am I mistaken??
Is this how 99% of everyone running 1600mhz Ram CPUZ report should look like? @ 800mhz each.

Read post #20 and #22

No, each stick runs at half of what the stated rate (1600) is.
That's why is called DDR (double data rate).

Ok, My latest CPUZ states these Sektor Sticks are running at 1600mhz.
In my SPD section Max Bandwith is (533MHZ) (My PSD32G1600 sticks state Max Bandwith is 1600mhz)

Can I conclude these Sektor5 sticks are running at 1600mhz as were my Patriot sticks?

 

[manolz]

Do this, Remove the 1066MHz sticks and see what you get. Put them in a drawer. Buy 2 more 1600MHz indentical to what you now have, put them in.
In BIOS set CPU NB FREQ to X11
CPU FREQ 200
Mem clock/Manual, X8

Should I keep the Sektor 5 sticks (If they're running correctly at DRAM 1.65) and use them with my PSD32G1600?, Or do you suggest I change over to Identical sticks?

[manolz]

And in saying that, if I were to switch to identical sticks at 8gb, should I keep the PSD32G or Sektor5?
Any advice welcome thanks

 

[manolz]

ok, so even though my max bandwith on these sektor5 are capped at 533mhz

there still running at 1600mhz, as stated here

correct?

and my psd32g sticks are running at 1600mhz
as stated here

can anyone confirm this?, i'm going to go for identical sticks (unless these 2 different modules can run side by side at 1600mhz)
thanks

It hasn't been said so far, but you are putting in an amazing amount of worry into something that will have nearly zero measurable affect in performance. If the system is running fine now and is stable, don't worry about it. Even if your memory was running a little slower, you honestly wouldn't ever know. Save your money and enjoy your system.

Enjoy your computer just like DeaconFrost has suggested. (d)
