Braegnok Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) Looks like your running 16GB modules,.. does your motherboard support the memory configuration your running in motherboard QVL. My motherboard only supports a few 16GB module kits, seems to run fine with just 2-DIMMs of DS (double sided) 16GB 3400 @ 16-18-18-38.

spikespiegel Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 My motherboard did not like the 16gb ram modeuls at first. Definitely not with XMP profiles on.. Not sure what you meant by memory config in mobo QVL... My main concern is the speed the DRAM is set at, is this bottlenecking my performance or does the setup look acceptable, given how much i'm pushing the CPU..

Braegnok Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) If your running your memory at 2133 it's not going to bottleneck your performance, that's the default setting for your memory controller. http://www.legitreviews.com/ddr4-memory-scaling-intel-z170-finding-the-best-ddr4-memory-kit-speed_170340 QVL is your motherboards memory Qualified Vender List,.. used for reference only to confirm memory module size, speed that's tested, confirmed stable with your motherboard.

ccokeman Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Ypou are showing the SPD settings not the actual memory speeds you are running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braegnok Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Your running 64GB at 2138.6 MHz,.. which is fine. If you do not need as much ram 64GB,.. and want more bandwidth/speed you can most likely pull two sticks, turn XMP Profile on and run 2X16GB at 3400 MHz.

spikespiegel Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 good to hear, thanks Nimrod! Yeah i sorta need the 64Gb, for editing, have Premiere, After effects and photoshop open most of the time, not including the normal stuff.. Makes life easier for sure! Thanks for the feedback guys.

ccokeman Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Bumping them up to their SPD setting will improve your bandwidth. Your board should accommodate the higher speed. Although you may need to reduce the clock speed on the core to 4600 to get it there. You play a balancing act on the latest architectures. I run 16gb at 3400Mhz on my video card test rig.

henkenator68nl Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 It's not just frequency and Primary Latencies... The real indicator should be your dram efficiency. How do the perform, AIDA64 has a small tool called CacheMem. It test the dram (and also the cache), stating: Read Speed, Write Speed and latency. A nice indicator of the performance. See pics, it's on x99 but same thing applies Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G930F met Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
