  • Same mistake New NOOB

    Hello hi gday,
    same ol story, 2 duel kits of f3-17000cl11d-8gbxl 2133Mhz bought months appart trying to run as quad with limited success. here's as far as i can get without the fear of "letting the smoke out" get the best of me.

    read and tried most thing on this forum...thought it was time to ask for a bit of help
    or thoughts on whether the gains are worth it with the current CPU/GPU combo.

    BIOS and all Drivers are current(except the Driver on K-Board is a 75 model)

    Cheers in advance

    So you're perfectly stable with four modules @ 1866 11-11-11-30 2T?

    If you don't want to absolutely squeeze out every last bit of performance, then just go with it. Otherwise manual tweaking timings towards 10-11-10-28 / 9-11-10-28 / 9-10-9-27 / 8-10-9-27 might be possible, at what voltages you would have to find out yourself (and that would take some time).

      all seems pretty stable from what i can tell...

      i just upgraded GPU to a MSI TF GTX760 OC 4Gb and left the 650 in for physX.... running ARMA 3 at 6063x1080 at very high settings with no problem (a 2nd 760 in SLI would be nice) so im happy enough with ram at 1866

        You can try to lower timings like 9-11-10-28 1.60V, otherwise, the way you have it right now is very good as well. Since the kits were purchased months apart, this kind of matching problem is expected. Reaching DDR3-2133 and high frequencies require perfectly matched RAM, that's why we must sell complete kits that are matched and tested from factory.

        Thank you
