what'r the ideal cas timings

[newmenu]

ive got some OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 sticks in the mail and was wondering what would the ideal cas timings to set in order to get the most performance without scraficing any stability, none. Ive also been reading some pieces where the timings have been set with the last timing set to 10 instead of the advertised 5 or 6 default. My newly upgraded system is AMD 4000, Msi neo2 platinum, Antec truecontrol 530W, Ati X800 pro, 2xWD Sata 160gb HD's, Soundblaster Audiology 2, Asus Dvd burner 6x duel layer, in the Thermaltake Tsunami Dream.

It depends on your mobo, but the best timings are 2-2-2-5. Of course, alot of people sacrifice timing for speed.

"to get the most performance without scraficing any stability"


That is relative to the system. You will have to test that for yourself.

whats the deal with the benchmark tests setting the last # to 10 Secondly I havent recieved my msi neo2 platinum, i was wondering if anyone has one and can tell me how high you can set your ddr voltage on this board.

you can set it at 2.85 v, but it undervolts to 2.75 max...you should get an ocz ddr booster to get some good performance ie. 2-2-2-10 250 fsb 1:1...i can only get up to 208fsb w/ 2-2-2-10 on that board...i have gotten it to ddr600 w/ 2.5-4-4-10 though 🙂

ok so this mobo will support up to 2.85v, so considering ive the 4000 what would be the ideal settings between the multiplier, FSB, and cas timings if i wanted a meager 2.6ghz speed(assuming i have no ddr booster)?

 

[Snakexor]

whats the mult for the 4000

 

[newmenu]

dont know, but i would guess its 12x200 by default, just a guess though

 

[Snakexor]

you would only have to do the 217 fsb to achieve that, 2-3-3-10 should do it no prob 🙂

multiplier of 12 makes sense. the 4000 is a 2.4 GHz Processor.

Is this your memory? OCZ has so many product names out there.

AT found that the last timing should be in the 9-11 range for NF3 chipsets, 5-7 for NF4. Also, make sure you're running a 1T command rate.

If that is your memory, that review has a nice range of speeds and performance. There's also a guide in the Overclocking Section that will take you through the basic steps to Overclocking.

bullsseye on the memory WW2planes1

if I up the voltage to 2.8 or 2.85 or hell even 2.9 i should be able to hit 2600 with 12x217 with timings of 2-2-2-10 1T and be running clean as a whistle and stable as the prudential huh. ocz say up to 2.9v and its still covered with lifetime warrantee. Lets say I get a sucessful boot on those settings or even 11x 236 and 2-2-2-10 1T 2.8/9v what ram tester would be the best for data stability testing and how do i read that data.
