Re: Clocks skew ... we definetly need to look more into that. I tried comparing with a second Maximus today if the skew would be identical - but that board did not like me anymore and wasn't playing with me . I just ran across something in the latest Everest earlier - it might be able to see the skews?? Not sure - was in the middle of something else and only just remebered now in retrospect.
Sometimes I am a bit confused what is going on when I switch from auto to user selected clock skew and vice versa - it seems sometimes I get varying results ( or the move back to auto keeps the previous userselected value). Would be great to have an indication what auto does.
I had always thought that clock skews were only helpful to match 4 sticks, but I am seeing improvements. New reserach project...
RE: Tras - correct - I had added in the notes in first page that tras 12-21 was running strong in terms of max frequencies, but tras 12 took a big negative hit in SuperPi 32m times.
tras 14 was the fastest yet tras 21 was almost as fast as tras 14 for me in 32m ( within a second of each other), while Tras 20 again was a bit slower than tras 21.
Tras 21 gave me between 4-16mhz more frequencies. At 2.0V I went down from 1940mhz to 1936mhz with Tras 14; and 2.08V I went down to 1988mhz ( yet I also had changed other settings + CPU - so I am not 100% sure of the actual hit yet).
A benefit from being able to lower tras is possibly the abilty to tighten some of the other secondary timings.
