I Have,
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB Kit 2666Mhz CL16
Density: 16GB (4x4GB)
Speed: 2666MHz
Tested Latency: 16-18-18-35
Voltage: 1.2V
Format: DIMM
Am I understanding this correctly that all DDR4 initially starts at a "safe" speed - somewhere around 2166mhz and you need to use the XMP profiles to get the better speeds. I read somewhere that once you hit over 2600 mhz some mobos automatically increase the blck to 125 which could cause problems with any current cpu overclock so it may be best to run the CPU at stock speeds while testing RAM with the XMP profiles?
Would anyone have any idea of performance gain between say 2166mhz and the 2666 or even 2800 XMP profiles?
I've only had the kit a few days and limited time to play with it so I'm guessing someone else here has been through something similar and could give me some indication of performance increases (or not) as the case may be?!
Thanks.
