I'm trying to set up my BIOS.
CPU: i5-750
MoBo: MSi P55 CD-53
RAM: F3-10666CL8D
I had the wrong timing values in there for over a year before reading a review that explained that the advertised values at newegg were incorrect. So the RAM is not rated for the speed that was advertised. Well that was a little disappointing but I didn't notice any difference in speed, so I guess it's trivial.
I have this RAM here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231275
What are the correct values for the RAM once and for all? I'm getting conflicting information. If you look at the image at newegg, you can make out the sticker that says: 8-8-8-21. However, someone else claimed it was 8-8-8-24, and I have also heard it was 9-9-9-24?
If you'll notice, it's 1333 Mhz. But one review says that he increased the voltage to 1.65, set it to 1600mhz with 8-8-8-21 T1. Well, I'd like to do that if it will make it faster, is it safe?
Does this support XMP? Does anyone here know where I can find the technical specifications for my RAM: SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL8D?
My CPU is set to Turbo. I enabled all of the features it came with (EIST, Stepping, etc.), but I haven't manually overclocked it.
I have XMP disabled because I don't really understand what it is. Should I enable it? Should I set it to Advance or Auto?
Why would you want to disable XMP? What values should I enter for the fields if I enable it?
I would feel a bit stupid that I had not been taking full advantage of my computer, but I'd be glad to get more performance. I've never seen the CPU go over about 40% (in TaskManager) and I don't understand why. It seems to be held back by something? The temps are OK. I was thinking perhaps I need XMP or my CPU can't increase the clockspeed?
Also there are six other values below that in my BIOS. Here are the settings current values:
tRFC 74
tWR 10
tWTR 5
tRRD 4
tRTP 5
tFAW 20
What do I set those to? I'm sure they are probably a little off, and would like to get the best performance out of my RAM.
Thank you very much. You're the best.
