Question I bought some CL16 RAM and it's running at CL19 ?

[iShoTz]

I bought this : OLOy DDR4 RAM 16GB (2x8GB) Warhawk Aura Sync RGB 3000 MHz CL16 1.35V
https://www.amazon.com/OLOy-Warhawk-288-Pin-Desktop-MD4U0830160BE0DA/dp/B08922VXHN?th=1
and my motherboard (H410M Pro) is limiting it to 2666mhz, but thats okay for me,
anyways i opened speccy to check my ram timings and it was CL 19-19-19-43 https://prnt.sc/Hz83wigNVK9u
i wonder if it would be safe to choose 2666MHZ CL16 (or lower timings) from bios? https://prnt.sc/gWT5LCUr0jP
i know you may say try until it'll fail but i just dont wanna do that because its hard for me to reset bios, i dont even know how for this motherboard

You turn XMP on in the BIOS?

Your motherboard doesn't support ram overclocking.
That's why it is running at 2666mhz instead of 3000mhz.

Can you show screenshots from CPU-Z - memory and spd sections?

Anyway - you should be able to run it at lower latency settings.
Actual values depend on available SPD and XMP entries.

If you do not wish to clear CMOS or reset BIOS, then don't touch the RAM timings.

If you jump in the swimming pool, you have to accept you're going to get wet.

Pretty much the same as on any other motherboard.
Use CLEAR_CMOS jumper (JBAT1).
Read motherboard user manual. Pages 8,17.

Confirmed XMP can be enabled in the BIOS. Also confirmed reviews of the RAM that timings will run as advertised with XMP enabled. Have you tried enabling XMP?

You can run it at

2666mhz,​

16-18-18-36,​

1.35V,​

Command rate 1T.​

where do i find Command rate tho?

i realized i had xmp profile off, then i turned it on,
then wow it was exactly how you calculated it somehow.

Then it's all good.
Congrats.

Congrats.

Btw its at command rate t2 will it be ok if i changed it to t1 ?

 

[SkyNetRising]

Yes. With 2 module configuration it's recommended to set command rate to 1T.
2T setting is for 4 module configuration.
