So what do you recommend for Intel viper patriot extreme ram. When it comes to timing.

[Werne]

I don't know what timings you even have, there are several versions of that RAM at 1866MHz with different timings ranging from CL9 to CL11. Aside from that, it's a rather low-speed RAM with non-uniform timings, and regardless of what you do to it you can get a maximum of 1-2%. Games have practically no reaction to timing/frequency modifications, I can run on DDR3-800 5-5-5-15 with the same components as you and get the exact same FPS.

 

I get ~5% in synthetical benchmarks by overclocking my RAM since this Transcend is a decent overclocker with uniform timings. By pumping some 1.6-1.65V through it I can get the RAM timings even tighter (maybe even 10-10-10-28 on 1866MHz) and maybe gain some ~7%, but my sticks have no heatsinks so that would be risky.

My ddr3 has decent heatsinks on them, ram i usually like to leave alone. I had many fail do to overclocking :teehee: , its sitting around 1500mhz right now. I rather leave it there.

I thought you guys had stopped with all the technobabble :tongue:

 

Anyway, I've got mine at 2133 Mhz (CL9; 9-10-11-30) But then, they're built for that frequency.

Yeah, I always just skip over the talk about hardware. It doesn't interest me and I can't contribute to it and it's boring. :P

 

Also, I'll take that win from you. :devil:

[Vindekarr]

Heh, it's cruel but blocked some of Thor's posts. Now whenever he starts talking about his graphics card the posts are hidden, it makes this page a lot quieter but I like it that way.

[Thor.]

lol have fun trying :D.

 

I'm a gonna get me a sound card Friday.

My C++ class is going to be interesting... I just wrote, compiled, and ran a small program that merely outputs a line of code in the console and AVG blocked it and declared it to be a Trojan.

 

THIS is dangerous?!

 

 

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Lazy Day!\n\tPretty Day!\n\t\tI'm Happy Today! (computer should beep! now)\a";
}

Ooh yeah, that bit of code does look pretty mean. I guess you can't fault AVG for wanting to protect your computer from that...

 

 

... Ahahahaha. What the heck, AVG?! You are one silly anti-virus. :laugh:

I couldn't help it.

 

Anyway... I finally played through Dragonborn... I'm not sure how I feel about it. I liked it more than the rest of Skyrim, but it still was... just okay. I guess I shouldn't expect much from Bethesda.
