Corsair Twin2x1024-6400C4 Overclocks

Hello to all =)

I was wondering if any of you have this same ram, and if you do what kind of OC's have you been able to get?

Please post your timings Mhz, voltages and such. Or any recommendation for a safe OC would be much appreciated.

Thank you

I do not have this RAM, but what I can say is that there is no "safe" speed for 24/7. What kills RAM is too much voltage and heat. As long as you keep the volts down, you can run the highest speed you can without getting memtest86+ errors.

Most guys OCing the C4 versions set the timings to 5,5,5,15, command rate to 2T and voltage to 2.1v. They typically get about DDR900-950 or so. It's not guaranteed of course but it's pretty consistent.

This may sound stupid but:

Running at 5,5,5,15 at 900-950mhz would be faster then the 4,4,4,12 timings at 800mhz?
and if you dont mind, how big a deal is the T1-T2 setting for ram performance?

It all depends really. If you can get a faster CPU speed, then 900 to 950 is a great advantage over a lower CPU speed at DDR800, regardless of timings. The actual memory bandwidth benchmarks might not be all that different but, the extra CPU cycles from the OC will work wonders.

Command rate is not a big deal. The ONLY way to see the difference between 1T and 2T is with benchmarks. You cannot discern it with the naked eye in real world usage.

Thank you for the Info and taking the time to help me out "Yellowbeard MXS" i am a bit confused about faster cpu speed though? Ill update my SIG, perhaps that will help
