Hello! Need some help with a memory kit on an older board. This is a similar configuration to a previous post here: http://www.gskill.us/forum/showthread.php?p=73949
Too bad I didn't look this up before I bought the kit or I would have realized that I probably should have gotten 1866 memory with faster timings.
As discussed in the other thread, the RFC timing only goes up to 255 on this motherboard which seems to disallow 2133 speeds at all.
Currently I'm running 2x8GB at 1866 9-10-10-10-24 1T. I am able to boot at 1866 8-10-10-10-24 1T, pass a mem test, but am unstable in real world use. As for the rest of the timings I'm using what the gentlemen in the previously posted thread used for his memory on the same board.
The upgrade was inspired by this article: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/di...-core-i5-2500k
My previous memory was 4x4GB of F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL at 1600 9-9-9-9-24 2T so I'm not getting too much of an improvement here.
There's no data I can find that reccomends timings for this memory at speeds between SPD and XMP. My main question is what settings might I tighten to get a little more of a delta between my old kit and my new, or should I just forget about it?
Thanks!
