After reading what eclipse had written about "Memory overclocking", I have a few questions that people smarter than me can clue me into. I am pending arrival of my 680i board, and have a few questions about memory overclocking. I have always kept my memory timed at 1:1, 1t and everything else at stock. With my transition to DDR2 I understand that the increased latency is made up for given the increased data throughput.
I am looking at purchasing a 4gb kit from Gskil, 5-5-5-15 and have read that you can increase the timing a little bit with a dash of increased voltage. I would like to get the most from my CPU overclock without limiting it. If I can bring my conroe 6600 to say approx. 3.4, 3.5gz will I have to overclock my ram to make up for the increased data?
If so, will the timings of the current 4gb kits limit this, or do I have to loosen up the timings in order to keep a stable maxium overclock (air).
Does anybody know of pending kits from Corsair (hint redbeard, hint... ) or OCZ that have improved timings that would be better off waiting for, or will the current timings make minimal difference and just make the transition now? (currently on DDR platform, see sig for details)
Any data, suggestions are more than welcome... thanks
