I am curious as I try to understand the relationship between BCLK and Strap settings in the UEFI BIOS for the Asus X99 Deluxe -- in order to get full 2800 MHz out of the Ripjaws that I am using (8x4GB), it required using a CPU strap of 125 and BCLK defaults to 127.4
WHY is it necessary to use the 125 strap instead of 100 when using 2800 MHz DIMMs? (I realize that a smaller multiplier must be used with the higher strap).
Thus -- is there any real difference between a 125 strap and 127.4 BCLK with 34 multiplier than a 100 strap/100 BCLK with a 43 multiplier?
From reading numerous postings on OC'ing the X99 in various forums, it seems like there is a general tendency to want a 100 strap -- what difference does it make if my G.Skill 2800 requires a 125 strap and BCLK of 127.4?
Count me confused? (I am running a rock solid 4.3 GHz using the 125 strap and 127.4 BCLK) [FWIW, my goal is reasonable OC'ing but stability and long life have priority and not trying to set any records]
Thanks,
Mike
