Question difference

[Froggystylin]

whats the difference between settin my ram speed manually instead of usin docp if there is any at all

 

[boju]

Setting memory speed, timings, voltage may help if XMP fails which sometimes happens depending on motherboard, Bios revision and ram. There's no difference otherwise besides sense of pride ya did something unique that is otherwise automatic.

okay thank you I just wasnt sure if I was lackin any kind of performance from just changin the speed to 3200 instead of doin the docp way

 

[boju]

Setting only ram speed will crash. Docp/Xmp sets more than that, timings and voltage so ram can run at higher speeds.

 

[Froggystylin]

That's weird how come I haven't crashed yet and it's been days and my comp runs all the time I'm just wonderin I'm not questionin your statement

 

[Froggystylin]

Does that mean that I'm hinderin my performance even if it doesn't crash and I do it that way

Post screenshots of cpuz spd & memory tabs please.

Thanks. What voltage is your ram running at in the Bios?

I don't see how 3200MHz can operate at 1.2v, but with timings of CL22, i suppose it might be possible.

XMP's timing profile is 16, 18, 18, 18, 36. At the moment they're running very lose 22, 22, 22, 22, 52. That would be hurting performance for sure compared to tighter timings offered by XMP.

I'll have to check that at a later time but yea I see what you're sayin the timins are way off from what they should be I think they're suppose to be cl15 so I probably will just enable it and how much performance do you think I'm losin at this point for now

 

[boju]

Not a lot but a difference between a stutter here or there during certain times in games and if was Ryzen, there's more performance to be had.

What's your system specs?

Your ram is CL 16 as per profile for XMP-3200 under spd.

the timins seem to be a bit off from what I can get well from what Ive seen anyways
