I have some Crucial DDR3 DIMMs. I'm experimenting to see what timing numbers I could get it to work with at stock voltage.
Right now, I'm working in tRAS. According to the Micron datasheet, 24 is the correct value for this. I reduced it 4 at a time and ran stress tests. I've gotten it down to 9 (the minimum setting in the BIOS), and it continues to work just fine under VERY heavy compute load, and it has been running for 8 hours.
Should I be surprised? I know Crucial conservatively bins their parts, but wow. Reactions?
