CPU : amd fx 6300
motheboard : http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68C-GS%20FX/index.asp?cat=
RAM : Crucial 2x4GB 1600 udimm 1.5v ( now running at 1066 )
PSU : 600 w

my Ram is currently running at 1066 . 7 , 7, 19,
and i want to overlclock it to 1600 (my RAM,CPU,mobo supported 1600)
my question is what CAS latency and Voltage should i use for overclocking to 1600 ?
is it safe ? no problem with my other parts ? will it do fine no problems ?
please help ! thanks !
 
BIOS Setup Utility ===> OC Tweaker

Memory Configuration should be set to [800MHz DDR3_1600]
DRAM Voltage can be left at the default [Auto] or manually set to 1.5V

Memory Timing

Download and run CPU-Z. Look on the SPD tab page and select the Slot # of that the memory module is installed in. There may be an XMP-1600 column that displays the main memory timings. Print it off and use the values in that column to set up your memory timings in the BIOS Setup.
 


thanks for replying guys.

@ko888 it says in CPU-Z JEDEC #6 11, 11, 11, 28, 39, 1.50 v
so higher frequency is faster and higher timing is slower too ?
what if i put the timing that @tradesman1 say .(9,9,9,27) is it going to be unstable or should i listen to CPU-Z ?
pls reply asap . thanks !

 


In the following example, for my own system's memory, I run with 8, 8, 8, 21, 30, 1T instead of the values shown in the XMP-1600 column. Running with faster timings requires thorough testing to ensure that the memory is able to operate without errors.

its a UDIMM ram ii dont know. is slow ? or i wont much difference ? should i use 9-9-9 27 or 11-11-11 28 ?
which is more compatible according to CPU-z ?
 


UDIMM = Unregistered DIMM (i.e. There is no register (a.k.a. buffer) between the DRAM modules and the system's memory controller.)

My own memory modules, in my example above, are Unbuffered DIMMs.

You need to start with 11,11,11,28 timings. To determine the fastest timings, that you can use reliably, requires a lot of testing.

What is shown in the Part Number field of CPU-Z's SPD tab page for your memory modules?
 


If the memory modules can't deal with the tighter timings then the motherboard's POST routine may report an overclocking error.
 
hey guys last question, when overclocking should i change TRC too ?
if yes. this is the things im going to change ?
frequency , timing , , voltage , TRC ?
my ram is 1.5v but i cant find exact 1.5v ? what should i pick 1.476v or 1.533v ?
pls reply asap thanks !
 


TRC is not a primary setting. You can change it if you want to.

1.533V would give you more stability.
