No matter how much lipstick you put on a monkey, it's still a monkey
So, you're calling one of the highest regarded recent games a monkey?
You obviously have no taste in games.

Yes, I am calling Skyrim a monkey. With lipstick on no less.
No, but seriously though, it's not a bad game. I'm just trying to make a point.

Sounds like you're just calling it a bad game

Why is being a monkey derrogatory? Monkeys are among the smartest of all creatures. I'm just saying that Skyrim is a monkey whether you put lipstick on it or not. You could say any game is a monkey. It's not a bad thing to say.
Putting lipstick on a monkey is a saying.
In other words, no matter how much you dress something up, it does not transform into something else.

I love this forum. We can debate just about anything and make it look intelligent.��.
Back on topic though, the sticky says timings matter on these Haswell/DC builds but I still see people using the loose timings to get higher memory speeds. Is that something that changed after the sticky was written?

So is there a point where dimenishing return kicks in and speed would be better?

I'd say 2133 CL9 is the sweet spot of price/performance. 2400 CL10 also performs very well, but it's getting harder to find double sided modules for those kits now.

I don't know, I use G.SKILL because of their phenomenal customer service.
Try looking up some recent reviews, I don't have time to Google it right now though.

This chip just keeps going. I'm at 4.8 with 1.35v. Intel is sure winning me over. I have some time today so I'm going to see how high I can get it stable.

I think your daugher would prefer a long lasting chip over an extra 1-200Mhz which is imperceptible in real life usage. Might want to ease off. You're approaching what would be considered high voltage for haswell.

Not really. 1.35V is still very safe, especially when kept cool.

Temps stay at about mid 70s under load and from what I read that is safe. Regardless, I don't plan to go any higher because it became unstable without a voltage boost and 1.35v is as high as I want to go for daily use. Any more and I would have to up fan speed which isn't in my plan.

I said approaching.
Personally, I'd be comfortable at 1.45V on Haswell for 24/7 assuming temps are kept in check.
