DDR3-2133...CAS Latency important?

[Blain]

Ive studied latency and DPC latency ever since last decade.

Do you have that data available for download?

Finally settled with the G.skill Ares 2x4gb DDR3-1866 CL9 1.5V:

Low profile
Ok voltage
Good speed
Low price

I rather have 1700Mhz @ 8-8-8

Why don't you do benchmark. Get AIDA free and go and benchmark your latency figure. Then take the RAM to 2133 11-11-11 and test the ram latency last tab in app open it and click on memory latency and click refresh green icon and wait a sec for results. I bet 1700 with tighter timings gives say 50ns ,, but the 2133 would give more then that.

In AIDA ,, AMD 64 is still latency champ @ 47ns

Please don't post incorrect info.....

Thus, memory timings have indeed become a rather insignificant parameter for today’s computers. When choosing DDR3 SDRAM for an Ivy Bridge processor, you should consider its clock rate in the first place whereas a low CAS Latency and other timings are in fact unimportant. The same goes for tweaking and overclocking: you should first focus on increasing the clock rate of your DDR3 SDRAM and only then minimize its latencies if you want to.
