Hey guys. So i decided to OC my ram.

Systems specs are as follows.

Asus Z97-Pro
i7 4790k
G.Skill 16gb Tridents (DDR3-2400 CL10-12-12-31 PC3-19200)
GTX 780Ti
EVGA G2 850 Gold 80+
Corsair H110 Cooler

Was wondering what i should input into bios to achieve what they were designed to do?

any thoughts on this?

**actually let me rephrase this, not really trying to overclock just get what it was meant to do**

Is this something where i just manually input those timings? to get 2400mhz?

Not sure what you are asking. If you enable XMP profile it should set them up to 2400 CL10. Which is what they were designed to do.

+1. Set the XMP profile in the bios and you should be set with that overkill ram.

I guess this is exactly what i am asking. Sorry for being so vague, posting form my phone incognito from work rofl!...

So i should be able to go into bios and just "enable XMP" to achieve 2400?

UNless you're coming from an AMD setup. We had the AMP profile for a year or two and it dissappeared. We're always stuck setting ram manually.

Kingston is even simplier in the last series like Fury. You set everything at auto and it's working like it should ... no XMP , only high SPD profile.
