Nice! Probably need more DRAM voltage for lower timings. Typically 1.65V is the minimum, but if you want to target lower voltage/stress, that's fine too.
It would also be fun to see if the new CPUs really appreciate higher DRAM Frequency over low timings.
Try DDR3-1600 8-8-8-24 1.550V
vs.
DDR3-2400 12-14-14-35 1.625V
The ratio is the same, so it would be fun to see which is actually better. =)
I'm still baffled that I'm able to achieve such a high overclock on these. Did I just get lucky and get good modules or is there something special with these older kits with haswell?
I was able to boot into windows with 2600 at 12-14-14-35. I just wanted to see if it would happen. I will test the sticks with the speed and timings I said before, but you think there is a danger if I attempt to go higher?
I mean I'm already at a ridiculous speed now for these sticks it seems like.
Gaah. I gotta stop visiting these forums otherwise I will buy a haswell just for an unnecessary boost in RAM. I vote you take it as high as it will let you. That is insane. You will have to teach me your black magic oc'ing skills.
The low latency kits use good chips as well to achieve their value, so it's natural with a higher latency, the frequency can be raised similarly to a kit that is rated higher. Low latency kits use better chips which is why price is higher as well compared to standard DDR3-1333 RAM
I started to notice some stuttering with youtube videos, but all else seems to be fine. I went back to stock with the ram and no issues with the video playback. So, I'm going to chalk that up to as being unstable.
