Hi,
Recently I became a lucky owner of 2x4 Gbs of Kingston HyperX Predator 1866 memory sticks, and since my rig uses integrated graphics of A10-5800K RAM performance is really important for my rigs graphics performance.
First thing I did(after overclocking NB to 2400) was setting them to [email protected] and stock timings for the Predator 2400: 11-13-13-30. It went great - the memory was perfectly stable. I tried tightening the timings and got them down to 11-12-12.
I don't know what to do with the 4th timing though. Right now it's set at 25(11+12+2), but the memory seems stable(passed 1 round of memtest86) even with a setting of 22(possibly lower). I didn't see any benchmark improvments associated with that setting though. Should I try and get this as low as possible?
And what should I do with the advanced timings? I can't set the command rate to 1(generates lots of errors), but the rest right now is set according to XMP for 1600, and the memory is perfectly stable. Still, it seems that after I lowered the other advanced timings from XMP values for 1866 reading from the memory actually got slower while writing got faster. WTH is going on? How should I set them to get the best results? Unfortunately they are totally ignored in most of overclocking guides and reviews...
Thanks in advance.
