GearJunkie Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I just bought a set of TR3X6G1600C7 memory (ver. 2.2) and finished testing it to make sure that it's stable. It's working perfectly. However, when I was looking at a CPU-Z screenshot, it showed the XMP-1600 setting for the 'Command Rate" as "2T". (A screenshot is attached) I am 90% sure that it showed "1T" before I began all of the testing procedures??? Below are my questions: 1. Is there any way that the Command Rate could change in the XMP settings? 2. Shouldn't the XMP-1600 setting show 1T, since this is what this memory is advertised at? 3. Is this a sign that the memory is failing? I'm hoping that I'm baked and that it never really showed a Command Rate of 1T, but I'm almost sure that it did... Thanks!

Wired Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 the SPD NEVER changes, so you're seeing things :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 These modules are not advertised by Corsair as running at a specific command rate. In this case, the command rate is 2T: http://www.corsair.com/products/xms3/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearJunkie Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks, Wired. I'm glad that I'm seeing things! Yellowbeard - I've seen that Corsair doesn't list this memory (anymore) as being able to run at 1T, but most places that have this memory for sale list it as being able to run at 1T: Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145242&Tpk=corsair%20tr3x6g1600c7 "Latency of 7-7-7-20, 1T for maximum reliability and performance" Frys.com http://www.frys.com/product/5993264?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG "Latency of 7-7-7-20, 1T for maximum reliability and performance." ZipZoomFly.com http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10010443&prodlist=celebros "This 6GB triple kit memory solution runs at an incredibly fast 1600MHz at CAS latency of 7-7-7-20, 1T" What gives???

Wired Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Stores have incorrect info it seems, or are assuming it, or have 1T as the default in their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
