Did Everybody have a great Christmas?!
So I need some help to figure out if I can tighten My Ram timings further than 4,4,4,10 to increase performance? As I have stated I Don't think
I can run my chip any faster than 3.2Ghz, Being as the temps got up to 59-60C under full load. To run at 3.2Ghz I had to Put V.core to 1.425 in Bios, CPU-z showed 1.328 when Orthos was running(Massive V-Droop?). So Being As CPU-Z is reporting such a V-Droop, I am not really putting 1.425 Volts into it right?
But these timings, I have never set them manually before. My Cpu is at 3040 Mhz, Ram is at 760 Mhz at 1.9 Volts at 4,4,4,10. I have it set on the first speed after Auto in the BIOS. So how would I go about trying to tighten up my Ram timings for more Performance. Something also that I don't get is this. When My CPU is at 3040, Ram at 1:1 5,6,6,18 I pull 11230 in 3DMArk06. When I drop the timings to 4,4,4,10 I get 11235 in 3DMArk06. Why such a small increase in points? Shouldn't running the timings at a faster speed give me more points in 3DMark06?? Is there something I am not understanding about Ram timings Vs Ram speed? I DL Sandra lite for testing my Ram, But I don't understand how to use it for testing purposes.
I am looking for the Best setup for playing Crysis. I am not soo concerned with Video encoding or burning, Just Gaming. Need some tips on how to better maximize my Rig for Gaming.
Thanx for the help everybody so far
