alonbl Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) 1600MHz @ 8-8-8-24 or 1833Mhz @ 9-9-9-24 with 1.5V and is it healthy to be at these settings 24/7? I have: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H | CPU: Intel i7-3770K @4.3Ghz stock volt | RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB 1600MHz LP 1.35V Edited June 24, 2013 by alonbl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 real-world or theoretical? hmm I thought someone a while ago posted a chart with real-world difference which was pratically zero. Theoretical my understanding is 1 higher tim is the same as 1 lower at a speed step down. eg, 1600 CL8 vs 1866 CL9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 You won't notice a difference, but I dunno if it's healthy or not thou. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alonbl Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) According to this artical there is 1-7 frames difference between the two. Edited June 24, 2013 by alonbl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 1-7 frames is not noticeable unless your system is already struggling to run over 30FPS on games, which from your specs it's not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 +1 also higher memory allows for high CPU overclock (to a point) but with everything basically needing a multiplyer it doesn't matter much anymore unless 100mhz is something you need.

Prunes Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 You will see a difference in 3dmark benches, but you won't gain much in real world applications. I wouldn't bother with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alonbl Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I still like the sport and the benefit. small as it is. My question is- is it bad for the memory to work like this 24/7? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Whatever number you like better, and I'm serious lol Edited June 24, 2013 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 In my testing at higher resolutions with settings we use higher memory speeds rarely add any real world benefit to gaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 +1 also higher memory allows for high CPU overclock (to a point) but with everything basically needing a multiplyer it doesn't matter much anymore unless 100mhz is something you need.Memory and CPU clocks aren't linked in the past few generations of CPUs from AMD or Intel AFAIK.
