This is my first post, and I tried to search for this, but didn't have luck finding the answer to my specific question. I have an i7 930, Asus P6X58D-E mobo, with 3x2GB G-Skill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD.
When I first set up the system, it was very easy to use XMP to overclock the memory to 2000mhz and 9-9-9-24. However, when I overclocked the i7 930 to 4.0Ghz, I had to chance the CPU ratio to 21.0 which changed my memory settings. The DRAM mhz is 1531 now I think, and the next setting is 19xx (off the top of my head). I have lowered the latencies down to 7-7-6-24 1T. I've seen posts where you say it's possible to go lower by raising the voltage, but I haven't been able to boot up past this point. I would love to get this RAM back to running at 2000mhz with the lowest possible latency. Is this possible?
If there is a previous post somewhere with step by step instructions, if you point me to it, it'd be much appreciated. There must be thousands of people with this same set up, but I haven't been able to find detailed directions to do this. I know latency is the most important hing, but I'd love to get these sticks running at their full potential.
P.S. I'd love to give you all the settings of my mobo in detail, but I'm at work...
