Settings & Timings CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9

CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Model CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 ; this set was confirmed by Corsair Ticket to be fully compatible with the listed ASUS P55/1156 MOBO.

 

I realize this kit is new, so I'd like to have some tips on configuration.

 

1600 MHz 9-9-9-24 {?*}T/N @ 1.5v

 

MOBO ASUS P7P55D i5-760 (2.75GHz -> OC CPU to 3.2GHz/BCLK = 160) ; 4 x DIMM, Max. 16 GB, DDR3 2200(O.C.)*/1600/1333/1066 Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory

BIOS:

AI Overclocker Tuner -> D.O.C.P. {??}

DRAM OC Profile -> DDR3-1600MHz

--

DRAM Timing Control {enter}

DRAM CAS Latency -> 9

DRAM RAS to CAS -> 9

DRAM RAS to PRE -> 9

DRAM RAS ACT -> 24

--

DRAM Timing Mode -> ? {*I assume 2N}

--

DRAM Voltage -> 1.5v

IMC Voltage -> {???}

 

Questions:

1 ? -> Is the DRAM Timing Mode 2N/2T for this RAM?

2 ?? -> The D.O.C.P. needs to be set with a CPU of 2.66 or 2.8 GHz with 1600 MHz RAM, but should I use {Auto} if the CPU is OC 3.2GHz? I noticed the "Adjust BCLK...in the comments". See grid below.

3 ??? -> Since there are 4 sticks of low voltage DDR3 do I need to adjust the IMC (Integrated Memory Controller) Voltage?

4 -> What are your thoughts of XMP in the 4X4GB configuration?

Thanks! Hopefully this will help others. Yes, I searched the forum prior to posting - no full timing info on this set!

All you should have to do is enable XMP.

Just for the heck of it, lets assume X.M.P. fails...then what about the other (3) questions. It probably will help others.

 

I've found a couple of issues over time: 1. XMP is either great or awful {posting}, 2. OC the CPU XMP has a tendency to overpower the DRAM Voltage.

 

Thanks!

Need some input...Bump :)

I was interested in the answers to these questions too, since XMP was unstable on my machine. (That was when I was running CMX4GX3M2A1600C9. I've just upgraded to Dominator, and I haven't tried it with that yet.)
