TropicalPreist Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) what would be the best way to test my ram for lower timings? I have them at 9-9-9-24@1200mhz. Can i go higher with lower timings? What the difference between dual and tri-channel?

JBags Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) best way to test would be Memtest86+ though Prime95 (blend, i think?) and linpack are pretty good indicators of ram instability as well (NOTE: both prime95 and linpack also indicate cpu instability..) you'll most likely have to up the voltage to lower timings and/or raise frequency Edited October 28, 2009 by fearspartan117 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalPreist Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Yeah i've used prime95 to check my oc stability. But i was just curious if anyone would be able to give me a educated guess as too what the ram i have would be cable of of pulling off.

_TheAlexO Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 hold on. If your ram is DDR3-1600 Cas 7 7-7-6-18 like your link shows.. why do you have it set at 9-9-9-24@1200mhz ? you RAISED the timings and LOWERED the speed ? the stock settings are better than those Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalPreist Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 They aren't 1600 out of the box. You have to set it manually and when you do the timings go up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_TheAlexO Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 ok that makes sense. its just the way it was worded, made it seem like you set it to those speeds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the difference between dual and tri-channel? My ram https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001C830M...oss_T15_product Isnt that a duo channel memory kit with higher required voltage then recommended for an i7?

GabrielT Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Isnt that a duo channel memory kit with higher required voltage then recommended for an i7? Oh good catch, it's either the wrong ram or you are running at such a low speed to compensate the undervolting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
