CL9 and CL10 Corsair Vengeance

[quletadik23]

Should I be worried with this Setup?

Vengeance® — 1x8GB DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C9)
Vengeance® — 1x8GB DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ8GX3M1A1866C10)

I just bought another ram, I ordered CL9 and came to there store and they give me this CL10. 🙁 And I don't know what to say, and dunno what to do..

I'm not a warfreak that will rage at their store to fight about this.

The thing is, is this good? is there something that I should be worried?

Well, from the screenshot you posted it seems like you got the CL9 😀

Edit 1: But if you have 2 identical RAM sticks is better, if you paid for something you have the right to have it. Don't be rude but notify them that they shipped the wrong stick!

Edit 2: By the way you are in mistake sir, one model is called CMZ8GX3M1A1866C10 and the other CMZ8GX3M1A1600C9
one is 1866Mhz and the other is 1600Mhz

You have 1600mhz CL9 and 1866mhz CL10 modules, but they are both operating in 1333mhz mode.
Enable XMP and bump frequency up to 1600.

 

[Lodocarbo]

You should be able to make the 1866 CL10 run in 1600 CL9 mode btw, fisically they are the same stick

 

[faalin]

So you have 1 stick of:

1600Mhz cl9 and 1866Mhz cl10

and together they are running at 1333Mhz cl9. You need to go into your bios and manually set your speed to 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24, You might be able to get away with overclocking the first stick to 1866Mhz to match the second one you bought but i would not push it since these are not a matched pair kit.

 

[darthvader30]

Both sticks are running at exact same speed. The one you recently purchased is a higher clocked version version of your older RAM and therefore it can run at slower speed and match the older one. So, it won't cause any problems since both are running at same speed, CL and in dual channel.

You RAM's are running slower than they should. Go to the BIOS and set them to 1600mhz manually or enable X.M.P.

 

[quletadik23]

is this correct?

and should I set this to 9-9-9-24 ?

 

[SkyNetRising]

Yes - looks ok.
You could probably go with smaller latency timings also 9-9-9-24

 

[quletadik23]

This is what happen.
I already set 9-9-9-24.

btw, as the screenshot of my motherboard said,

 

[SkyNetRising]

Excellent. Now it operates as it should.
I would also try setting Command Rate to 1T and see, if it can operate that way. But anyway - it's not a big deal.

 

[darthvader30]

Since you have overclocked your RAM you might have some system crashes, I'm not saying you will, you might have, so in that case just go to your BIOS and reset the RAM timings to default and keep X.M.P. still enabled and you'll be good to go.
For now everything looks good.

boot with memtest86+ installed on an empty usb flash drive to verify, if this config works well or not

how long should i run memtest?

3-4hrs will be fine.

 

[helpstar]

At least two complete cycles of the tests

Looks like you are OK, the one stick (is 1866/10 - not a 1600 /10 so they basically gave you the wrong stick, if the package said 1600/10 then somebody screwed up
