CMP6GX3M3A1600C7 and Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7

[slyphnier]

hello everyone

 

i am with new built pc right now,

the mobo is gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 revision 0.2 and i updated the firmware to version FB

 

the issue i get is with Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.) setting

i get 7-8-7-23-2T instead 7-8-7-20-2T

is this normal ?

 

i might can set it to 7-8-7-20-2T manually, but isnt it Corsair EMP should automatically set latency correctly ?

do my RAM faulty ?

 

please help

XMP is set by the data in the DIMM. You can try setting it manually but it may or may not run stable with 7-8-7-20-2T.

hi thanks for the info

 

and thats why i kinda curious, as the spec on corsair site show the latency 7-8-7-20-2T

so the ram should run with that latency right?

if the ram not supposed to run at 7-8-7-20-2T, then corsair should publish the correct latency instead (7-8-7-23-2T in my case)

 

while i know this wont have big impact in performance

but i want to make sure my memory is ok (not faulty)

hope corsair reps can help me confirm this issue

UPDATE: after testing with another same module, the result same

i think it have connection between CPU multiplier (on i7 950, bios set multiplier at x23)

beside that everything work perfect

Use CPU-Z and check the SPD tab and you can look at the actual data in the SPD chip. This will tell you the actual timings of the chip and I would go by those there.
