Hi guys,
I've successfully oc'ed my E6600 to 3.1Ghz (1400Mhz) without much strain. I'm getting roughly 40-43c idle and 57-58c load.
Anyway, I'm familiar with CPU overclocking, but as for RAM overclocking, I'm a little baffled.
My current RAM is 4 sticks of 1Gb OCZ PC2-8500 (1066Mhz) Reaper = 4Gb..
Now, when I've been into the BIOS, the settings show this, for RAM:
Memory Clock Mode: Unlinked
Mem DDR, MHZ: 1067
Memory Timing Setting: Optimal
5 5 5 15 2T
Memory voltage: 2.3v
So my RAM's running unlinked to my CPU at 5-5-5-15 timings, I take it.
However, I need to know if these settings coincide with my current CPU settings (3.1Ghz) - are my current RAM settings creating any sort of bottleneck? Should I lower/increase them slightly?
If I set the Memory Timing Setting to "Expert" I can edit the timing values, is it worth doing so?
Cheers all.
