riamu Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I have 2 Gb of XMS 3200 LL Twin X Pro (not overclocked) running in a DFI 875 Pro B motherboard. The timings are the recommended 2-6-3-2. If I make these timings 2-5-2-2 to mimic the new 3200 XL RAM, will I achieve better performance during gameplay. The DFI 875 allows these tighter timings, but my previous Abit IC7-G motherboard would not boot up on these tighter timings for a reason which I never understood. My CPU is an Intel Northwood 3.4 GHz ("Northy") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 They may not be able to run at 2-2-2-5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riamu Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 They may not be able to run at 2-2-2-5! I have already set them to 2-5-2-2 and they are fine. My question is will these timings imropve gaming performance? I am at 2.6 V, not overclocking. Also how is it that some people quote 11 as a timing when they say, for example, 2-6-3-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 People have benchmarked them and for some reason sometimes they perform better at 10 or 11. The timings should improve performance by a bit, but I'd benchmark them to see if it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
