EDIT: noticed you have 4GB, 2T is all you gonna get with them there.
Now the 4 - 3 - 2 -8 woah
the first number should always be the lowest, the second and third normally need to match that, then the fourth to be as low as possible.
Depending on the volts you can get with your board, which I'm almost sure it can do it. 2.2 is about the safest voltage for daily use (refrenced Cpt.Planet on this) but those are fast sticks of ram.
At least try 4-4-4-12 800MHz, @ 2.2V, you should be able to do that, and it'll probaly give you a bit better performance than the mixed timings.
Hope this helps, let me know what you do.  | |  | |  | |
Ah well there ya go.. I learned something new I guess. I always thought just the lower the numbers, the better, in order from first to fourth being the priority list.
Hence my old 2-3-2-5 G.Skill sticks, 4-3-3-8 sticks I had once (if I remember rightly). Why then do they sell sticks like that? Should not they just be like... all equal through lowering some of them numbers to meet the others?
Also, yes they easily do 4-4-4-8 800mhz 1.9v. I just tightened up the timings as low as I could go on each with the necessary voltage adjustments (1.95 it took to get memtest stable).
EDIT:
In fact I just asked two people and they confirmed that 4-3-2-8 would be faster than 4-4-4-8. Also, I tried it and did not notice a performance gain.
And the sticks will not do above 2T period. I run the
FSB @ 1600mhz so need the
RAM @ 800mhz for 1:1. The sticks will do their 1066mhz 5-5-5-15 but I really don't find much of a performance gain which I think is due to them running out of sync with the
FSB.
When I get a 1333mhz
CPU I should be able to stretch them closer to 1066 and keep a 1:1
