[SOLVED] Can i reduce my CL timing?

[Ieader]

I am running a i5 - 10400F on a GIGABYTE H410M H. I picked up a 16GB G.Skill RipjawsV Kit (2 x 8GB) DDR4 - 3000.

As you know, intel set a cap on the ram of the i5 - 10400F of 2666mhz.

My question is, can I take advantage of the fact that the frequency is reduced to also reduce the CL and timings?

You might need to get into BIOS to see if you have that option to tighten the timings on your ram kit. Also, not all ram kits will respond well to a tightening, some kits will like it on the same voltages while some might not. Some might even need more voltage to maintain tightened timings.

Before you venture into the timings, make sure you're on the latest BIOS version and then start by adjusting one parameter of the timings, test for stability and then move onto the next parameter. Setting the voltage to 1.4v~1.45v should be your first task. Mind you, if you can't manipulate the timings in your BIOS, then all this info is moot.

Thanks. I check BIOS and i can change the timings. I change it to 14-15-15-30 and it worked but i dont know it is safe or stable. I don't know what CL values I can try.

well 2666 CL14 is just normal. try to google TM5 with anta777 absolut config for stability test.
