  • 10666 Overclock

    I have on order 2 sets of F3-10666CL8D-4GBRM (CL7 not available from local suppliers) that I plan to run on an X48 motherboard with E8400. What is considered to be a safe overclock for this memory? Can they tolerate 1600Mhz?

    Raise voltage and timing to see if it can support that. Every kit is different, and it also depends on your ability.

      10666 Overclock

      If I understand you correctly, then yes 1600Mhz will not harm the memory. However, it may not be achievable and depends on my systems capability and my overclocking skill. Would it be safer to initially underclock the memory to 1066Mhz then raise the CPU frequency until the memory reaches 1333Mhz, assuming the CPU can clock high enough. This would be the safest option for the memory right? Or am I just being overly cautious?

        You are fine starting at DDR3-1333 since your CPU FSB is already that.. but then you need to raise (OC) the CPU Host Frequency to support higher memory frequency. I suppose you can get straight to it by setting Host Frequency to 400 (1600MHz), then raise timings to 9-9-9-24 1.65V to see if that is capable. Then work your way down..

        Or go up in increments, DDR3-1400, 1500, etc.

          Is thios safe for the Memory???

          My processor is now running at 4.0Ghz (1.2V) and the 4 x 2Gb RAM is running at 1780Mhz on stock 1.5V. The memory timings however are presently set at 10-10-10-27. The memory timing was just copied from a forum thread, and obviously needs tightening.

          I intend to raise slowly the memory voltage and lower the timings in an attempt to stabilize the system. I am concerned however that the 1333Mhz memory is now running at 1780Mhz. Is this safe for the memory? I have a very well cooled casing,but there are no sensors on the memory modules. I am concerned abot not only the memory frequency but their temps also.

          Please advise

            No problem, as long as the correct voltages and timings are used.
