Memory Timings

[AsianBatman]

Well since i can't overclock with the intel board, except for 4% increase, i am trying to change the memory timings. Corsair 2x256 XMS-3200LL default is 2-3-2-6, which i changed to 2-3-2-5.
I can not change the 3 into a 2 because it does not start when i set it to 2-2-2-5. In the bios there is a thing called CPC, should i disable or enable or leave it at auto?

-Thanks :cheers:

2-2-2-5???? holy crap thats pritty friggin good... but whats CPC??? my asus p4p800delux dont have anything about cpc in it atall nor have i herd anything about it opn anyother board, my dad has a intel 875perl and i look at it and i cant see anything about cpc....but download that intel control center it allows oc'ing on intel mobo's in windows!! i tried it on my dad's rig and it works for more then the bios' 4% ( p.s. what kind of ram u using??? i got corsair pc4000 XMS and it wont go below 3-4-4-7 (thoughts on my max timmings = *^&$$#%%^^$$@#) my dads crucial **** ram (pc3200) wont got below 2.5-4-4-6 )

Lol, i am using corsair xms3200LL (2-3-2-6). Currently running at 2-3-2-5, it wont go to 2-2-2-5. CPC should be under advance and chipset. What intel thing are you talking about that allows you to overclock? Give me link please!

That ram is CH5 so it wont run ras-to-cas 2 on an Intel rig. The best you can do is 2-3-2-6 (use 6 instead of 5).

[AsianBatman]

But it runs fine on 2-3-2-5, so 2-3-2-6 is better?

[Sovereignty]

In theory. Of course we're talking 0.01% difference at best :)

Usually 6 will be more stable than 5. In my rigs it has been anyway.

[AsianBatman]

For me either one is stable :)

My CH-5 does 2-3-2-6, and theres no difference in benchmark scores between it and 2-3-2-5

Yea, i know, but lower numbers make me tingle.
