Hi,
I bought some DDR3 1600 for an i5 system with rated timings 7-8-7-24 2N at 1600MHz
RAM model no is F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM
Problem is when I enable XMP in my bios it clocks the RAM up to 1600MHz but knocks out my turbo boost. Seems like anything past a bclk of 150 on my mobo (Asus P7P55D-E) disables it.
I'd like to be able to keep the turbo on and keep the CPU running at stock speed most of the time. I figured I could lower the timings on the RAM instead of increasing the bclk and get a bit of a performance boost that way.
Just wanting to know if there is a safe limit on how low I should set it the timings?
The system is actually stable with the RAM at 1333MHz and the timings at 6-6-6-18 1N. I didn't try anything lower than that.
Thanks,
Steve
