Guys, I run a Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 5 along with an 8700k that runs at 5ghz (kinda...not sure if that's all cores or just the single one to be brutally honest) just by manually changing the multiplier and letting the Gigabyte board do the figuring-out by enabling "Turbo" (but not extreme) profile in the "let gigabyte handle it and maybe over volt/throttle your CPU" MB options.
I digress, I only had one issue over the past couple years of ownership, sometimes Firefox of all things would cause the occasional freeze or blue screen/dump, and once in awhile a game would cause a problem...but it was rare, and I noticed it was UWP games like Forza 3...which was flaky to begin with, but then Gears 4 did it as well. I did a little snooping around online and forced my RAM voltage (with XMP Profile turned on) to 1.4v and magically the problems I was experiencing went away.
I run a 1080 Ti also overclocked......I figure I'm close to max real-world performance on this build at this point, I might be able to get higher numbers in synthetic benchmarks but, you know, it's all on paper.
However...I figured it was time to ask the experts here if my RAM is doing anything that might be costing me frames in any games.
CPUZ is reporting the following:
16gb
NB Frequency: 4202.1mhz
DRAM Freq:2001.1Mhz
FSBRAM 1:30 (!!?!?!) - This just feels odd....but I honestly don't know, I remember the good old 1:1 Celeron/p5 days)
CL is at 19
21, 21, tRas is 41 and RFC at 700...CR is at 2T.
Am I about at parity on this ram and would tweaking it at this point matter in anything real-world besides the occasional benchmark, wanted to check with the Elders here for guidance. Leave it alone or tweak, tweak, tweak...?
Thanks in Advance.
