That RAM usually is covered by a heat-spreader, to conduct heat away from the RAM.Īgain, bumping-up the voltage, to overclock, may generate more heat than "standard".Ĥ. Makes you wonder if GSkill just charges more because they gave it a cool name, slapped a colorful sticker on it, and called it Gaming RAM?!?).
I doubt that the BIOS on the HP motherboard supports either feature.ģ. Overclocking may require both boosting the voltage and changing the "clock-timing", to make it "tick" faster. I can't OC the RAM, as this is in an HP that appears to have the voltage locked down. Admittedly I only have a cursory knowedge of how the RAM timings/latency work.Ģ. Clearly I think that should be prominantly mentioned in the Specs and not buried in a comment response.ġ.
GSkill has commented on NewEgg board that the XMP profile needs to be set to achieve the 1200/2400 speed. Is there any risk of problems down the line with the 2 speeds not matching up? Or is my system automatically lowering the other Original 4GB stick down to 1066 to match the timing of this GSkill stick, and thus lowering the speed of the first? Seems to run fine and benchmarks seem decent. So as I interpret this moving forward, the RAM 'should/could' be capable of reaching the higher speed, but would need some tweeks/OC? Seems a bit deceptive to me on GSkill's part. My item is actually the Aegis line, but other than the Model # differing slightly, looks like the specs are exactly the same (Makes you wonder if GSkill just charges more because they gave it a cool name, slapped a colorful sticker on it, and called it Gaming RAM?!?). Sadly I can't OC the RAM as this is in an HP that appears to have the voltage locked down.
Admittedly I only have a cursor knowedge of how the RAM timings/latency work. Is it capable of overclocking to 2400 MHz ? I don't know why the "tested speed" is higher than what the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) chip is reporting. In your case, the G-SKILL RAM is reporting that it maxes-out at '2133', not '2400'. In my case, my stick is running at 667 MHz. To determine the current usage of the RAM. ~~Frequency~CAS# Latency~RAS# To CAS#~RAS# Precharge~tRAS~tRC~Voltage So, take that " 9-9-9-24", which is the current speed of the access to the RAM,Īnd compare with the potential "Timing table" for each stick: I think that you may be misinterpreting the output from SPECCY. I added an 8GB stick of 2400 GSkill RAM and am only getting getting the following 2132 speed, which makes no sense! Clearly the board and Orig stick run at 2400, so why does other 2400 RAM not run at that speed? It even states its running in XMP!?! I can confirm the original RAM running at 2400 speed (via Speecy).
