  • Looking to OC G.SKILL Sniper 1600Mhz

    Hi i own a tri-pair of G.SKILL sniper on a 1366 Socket along with a i7 920 and im looking to oc it... maybe not the Frequency, but tighteeng the timmings with the stock MHZ... they are 9-9-9-24 \ 1.5v.

    how low i can go with this frequency?

    Can you please post a photo of your sticks (frontside)? I'll then try to identify the ICs used and can maybe give you a hint on possible timings @ 1600.

        Have all three sticks a xxxx0860xxxx serial?

        With that code i am not 100% sure about the ICs used, but you can still just try primary timings of

        8-9-9-20/24
        8-9-8-20/24
        8-8-8-20/24
        7-9-8-20/24
        7-8-8-20/24

        and see how far you get with that. As always with overclocking stability testing will definitely be needed and you might need to raise Vdimm quite a bit, especially for the CL7 settings (up to ~ 1.65V should be safe enough).

          8-9-9-20/24 - DONE
          8-9-8-20/24 - DONE
          8-8-8-20/24 - CANT BOOT
          7-9-8-20/24 - DONE
          7-8-8-20/24 - CANT BOOT

          Maybe 8-9-8-20 will be good stability/some performance increase ?

            Its easy to figure out performance gains by yourself comparing both settings with benchmarks that are relevant to you. Many people use aida64 cache & memory benchmark, as it is a very quick way to do it; but also a very synthetic one. I would also include the 7-9-8-20/24 setting if thats stable enough. Don't expect to much of an improvement with 8-9-8 over 9-9-9 though. For bigger gains you would probably need to increase memory-clock further.

              You can try DDR3-1866 9-11-10-28 or 9-10-9-28 1.60-1.65V

                Oh i see with 1866 i get much performance, but at 3.8 oc on cpu i can't get exactly 1866 or close to it...
                multiplier is a 19x200=3.8 witch equals 1600Mhz rams... if i do 20x190 i get 3.8 Too, with less vcore too but i can't get ram stable at 1900Mhz... and if i do 8x on Ram i get downclocked and i dont want it :P

                atm im running 8-9-8-20 Stable.

                  DDR3-1900 9-11-10-28 1.60V is not stable?The RAM should be capable, maybe try boosting QPI/IMC Voltage

                    yey, with that i see alot more performance...
                    but, what QPI Volt should i need for 3.8Mhz uncore? with is 2x memory multiplier...
                    im at 1.335v and dram 1.64v

                    that timmings should be stable for 1900? or i can tight it a bit ?

                    or i use 21x180 to get 1810Mhz on ram. and use 3.6uncore with 1.355+1.6v Ram..

                    1810 with 9-10-9-28

                      QPI Volt you need to test to see what is stable. Same with timings, each set up is a little different, so it is up to you to find out what works best.

                      I mentioned the possible DDR3-1866 timings you can try above. Keep in mind some times lowering timings too much can also reduce performance.

                      Benchmark test is your friend to see which is fastest.

                        If your mems can do 7-9-8-20 @ 1600 there's a good chance 8-10-9-24 is possible at DDR3-1800/1866 with 1.65V Vdimm.
