[Questions] G.Skill Trident X PC3-19200 16GB 4x4GB CL9

If above 1866 by overclocking, there is a 2400 profile, but when loading the OS it crashes. I have set the correct latencies 9 11 11 31 and still it doesn't work, the fx 6200 I overclocked to 4.6 ghz stable with 1.452 voltage. In the latencies section I don't have to adjust anything else, do I? because I get many more options. Somewhere I read that I had to put more voltage to the cpu/nb is it correct or not necessary. If you need me to give you some bios data tell me.

The profiles for memories, normally require that you do not touch the FSB, because then higher values are applied, and it does not support it.

As you already know the potential of the micro, do the tests leaving the micro and bus in series, and testing the memory profiles, touching a little bit its voltage to help them.

Salu2!

Hello,

I have set the voltage and frequency of the micro to stock values, I have tested the memory at stock voltage and at 1.67 and they work well with the profile that comes at 2400.
Right now it is running at 1.65 and it seems that nothing is failing, although when I restart it hangs, it seems to me that it does not hold up very well. Now what do I do to raise the processor to the same frequency as before?

Thanks and goodbye

At the end of writing the last post, my system started to crash, I suppose that with this motherboard it shouldn't handle the 2400 of the memories very well. What limit should these memories have with the voltage, is 1.67 safe with intensive use?

I don't know the specifications of those memories, and I hardly know the components of your equipment, so you can start by putting them in your signature.

Salu2!

Here I leave you the specifications of my memories:

G.Skill Trident X DDR3 2400 PC3-19200 16GB 4x4GB CL9 F3-2400C9Q-16GTXD DDR3 Memory

I have updated my signature so that you can see my hardware

Well, it looks like your memories are these, so they have a nominal voltage of 1.65V so you can get close to 1.70V without danger, although it is striking that you bought a kit optimized for intel platforms, having AMD.

Regarding your doubt of how to put the micro in OC without reducing the speed of the memories, it consists of taking into account that when you raise the bus of the board, you have to lower the multiplier of the memories in the same proportion, or it will not start.

In your case, I wouldn't worry so much about having the memories at 2400, and I would take advantage to use them at 1600@CL7, but if you do some benchmarks, you will be able to draw your own conclusions.

Salu2!

What latencies do you recommend setting to 1886 or is it better to 1600? Next month I plan to upgrade my computer and put an intel haswell on it, maybe I can get more out of the memory and the SLI I have set up.

[abb80]

I've already seen it, but when you refer to cl7 it's always the same? for example 7-8-7-24? another thing, I've seen that you can lower the voltage to 1.5 at that frequency, right?

[Fassou]

Those memories have a maximum SPD of 1600, apparently at 1.5V, but with programs like CPU-Z you can read that information to know the latencies it uses.

About switching to intel, remember that you should not exceed 1.65V in the memories, or you will damage the memory controller that those processors have.

Salu2!

Okay, I will try to set them to different frequencies to see the difference in performance, I will keep in mind not to increase the voltage to more than 1.65 when I upgrade the computer to haswell, thank you very much for your help.
