help getting G.Skill HZ over 250mhz

[Rott3n]

Hello everyone. I can't seem to get my ram to go higher than 250mhz. I've tried loser timings, tighter timings high/low voltz but this ram wont go above 250mhz. Right now my system is prime/memtest stable at these settings. Ram will do what its rated at so I guess I can't complain.

Try these settings

Max Async Latency and Read Preamble to 8ns and 5ns, respectively.
Reduce voltage to 2.60v in bios. (These UCCC LOVE low volts)
For TREF use 3684
Set TRFC to 14
Play around a LOT with Drive strength and data strength - they can make the difference between 10,000 errors and 0 errors.

Good luck! :toast:

One more thing - for the Drive Strengths, what i usually do is try 8/4, then 8/3, 8/2, 8/1, 7/4, 7/3, etc. etc. and see which combo works the best. I personally think thats the most thorough and efficient way to test it.

I'm going to school up here, Northeastern, so I live in Back Bay/Fenway.

Let me know how you make out.

keep in mind you may not be able to go much higher...

mine top out at 268 or thereabouts no matter what settings I use

After messing around a bit with settings I think its best to be happy were i'm at now. Everything is prime/memtest stable.

how is everything now?

[Rott3n]

Rock solid at 250mhz 3-4-4-8 under 2.6v. I'm real happy with my cpu overclock (can go higher) so i'm leaving it at that.

Yea i cant get mine to clock past 260 either :/. I dunno how others are hitting 280+ without a sweat. They must have gotten real lucky.

Me too, Mine are good to about 260ish. But I can run 3 3 3 6 at 250.\
gonna try alterbirdge86's tweeks tonight.
