Vertigo1 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I have 4 x 1GB sticks of XM2 PC6400C4. Running at 400Mhz FSB I can raise the voltage to 2.1v to get the advertised 4-4-4-12 timings - all great. Now I've raised my FSB to 445Mhz and dropped the timings back to 5-5-5-18, still at 2.1v, and all seems stable. Unfortunately, if I try to raise the FSB above 400Mhz with 4-4-4-12 timings then it fails almost immediately. The question is, how should I best go about trying to tighten the timings at 445Mhz? Should I put some more voltage through it and, if so, how much? Which of the four main timings should I try tightening/relaxing? I've seen some people tightening some of the first three at the expense of the last one, such as 4-4-4-30 - is this worth trying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I would not worry about latencies on current Intel platforms. Use the settings that allow you the most FSB OCing. Lowering latencies will have virtually no effect in improving actual performance but, more CPU cycles will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
