rambosix Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 hi all, I have CMZ16GX3M4X1866C9 with Asrock x79 extreme 3 and intel i7-3820. But I have a question: With timings 9-10-9-27 works perfectly but the website says: SPD Latency 9-9-9-24, but if I set the ram 9-9-9-24 windows doesn't start; can I use those timings with xmp profile? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 10, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 10, 2013 9-9-9-24 is the SPD @ 1333mhz. 9-10-9-27 is the XMP profile @ 1866mhz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just installed them and left them on auto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 10, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 10, 2013 All you should have to do is load setup defaults and then enable XMP it will set everything for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambosix Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have enable XMP, I just wanted to know if I could lower the timing, but from what I understand is not possible. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say impossible. You can certainly try it. But you may have to adjust other BIOS settings to compensate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambosix Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 worth it, without risking damage to something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Well, you really can't hurt anything by just lowering the timings. The system would just be unstable. The risk comes with the voltage adjustments that you may have to make . As long as you don't go higher than the max limits Intels has imposed then there really would be no risk. If you want the truth, lowering the timings to ry to get better performance is not really all that much beneficial. If it were to increse performance it would be nothing you would notice in everyday use. You would need to run a benchmark and compare the numbers.
