Re: Memory help required.

Overclocking RAM makes absolutely no meaningful difference anyway and is a pointless waste of time.

Ram on its own no, not at the speeds I'm considering anyway. But when it's linked to your cpu and you know you can get xx from the cpu and with the ram you can't it's a pain.

Re: Memory help required.

That's true. Although you can sometimes get around it by using a different memory strap/multiplier, depending on platform.

True, the platforms that I have used all have it linked to the BLCK and if you adjust that then you overclock your ram, with your cpu.

Leave it at stock and just use the multiplier and your ram should stay at stock, which is what most people do for Sandy Bridge and up.

On Nehalem (x58) I always found the BLCK number that allowed my cpu to be overclocked while maintaining my ram speed at it's default speed, then I went to work on the multiplier and then tweaked the BLCK.

I know with some AMD systems you can unlink the Memory from the CPU strap so you can OC your, cpu without it touching the ram and that is the best way because ram overclocks bring very little improvements to anything, other than some benchmarks.

Re: Memory help required.

Talk of memory always reminds me of the introduction of the Amstrad 386 Desktop. It made headlines in the computer press due to it having 4MB of memory, 1MB was the default in 386 offerings at the time with top end boxes having 2MB. The Amstrad cost £2,000 and there was a 16MB memory pack available which cost well over £1,200. We are talking MB's here not GB's …. amazing how the price of memory has dropped over the years.
