Hi Folks
Couple questions....are scores (in memory intensive benches) noticeably better when taking ram cold? What kind of insulating would I need to do? Vaseline in the slots? Something else?
Got some ek ram parts (monarch modules + the plate they connect to...can't find the part atm) and figure if it makes sense, will definitely give it a go.
Looks like I'll be getting the ss and cascade back around the same time. First up will go 3930k (ss) for 2D's (followed by vgas), 2500k (ss) for 2D's (followed by vgas) or 775's (cascade)...I'm not sure which way I want to go atm. If I go 3930 or 2500...could put the ram (been using tridentx 2400's or hyperx2133's but have others if they're better for this) under cascade. If 775 then the ram (nice corsairs) would be under ss. (Would certainly welcome any thoughts on which socket would be most beneficial for the benching team!)
So....think it'll make a decent difference? Tighter timings, faster, etc? I already run sticks around 1.85v (1.65v ratings) with fannage. What kind of voltages would be relatively, somewhat sanely possible (about the same beatdown level as the 1.85 on air)? Under ss? Under cascade?
Do I really need to vaseline the slots? Will search for a ram insulating guides (it's ss or cascade, not ln2) but certainly any tips or useful links would be awesome.
Anyway...thanks in advance for any thoughts, tips, whatever on whether it's worth taking ram cold, what kind of difference it could make and what, if anything, I should do vis-a-vis insulating?
Thanks!
Edit: This might be better in the memory or benching thread but I don't see how to move it.
