CMD16GX3M4A1866C9 Question on AMD Overclock

[Seadweller23]

Hello to all,

 

Appreciate this helpful forum and congrats to Corsair on their fine offerings. I have the Dominator Platinum 1866 mhz and think it is a great looking product.

 

I have an overclock on my AMD build that is quite stable, I am wondering if I should try to manually adjust the Ram timings back to spec. Also, what is better, a higher ram speed (like 1808 mhz with timings of 10-12-11-30) or 1600 mhz with with my timings at the 9-9-9-24 intended settings.

 

Also, what is the best way to set the timings closer to the intended settings in an overclock situation? I assume trial and error.

 

Below is my CPUZ showing my overclock:

It would be so close you would never be able to tell the difference without running a benchmark. But nothing your going to see in real world use.

Yup thats about all you can do! Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer than that ...

Just an update...

 

 

I was able to get a slightly better overclock and get the Ram setting timings to 9-9-9-24 with an addition of one to the multiplier.
