ok so today i went to the store and got a Patriot 8GB kit DDR3 1600MHz @ 9-9-9-24 here is the link
http://www.patriotmemory.com/product...&id=956&type=1

i tried everything and i cant get this RAM to overclock.
so i tried to set the voltage to 1.8V :-

@ 8-8-8-24 PC doesnt boot.
@ 9-8-7-24 Windows doesnt boot
@9-8-8-24 Windows doesnt boot
@9-9-9-23 Windows doesnt boot

so what the hell is worng with those RAMs ?
my CPU/NB set @ 3000MHz @ 1.45V
my CPU set @ 4.0GHz @ 1.365V

No. You won't notice a difference at all.

 

[Iceman23]

Nope, barely an appreciable difference in real world applications.

 

[Mitche01]

overclock head room on the RAM - only reason to go 2000Mhz!

 

[B NEGATIVE]

2000 will not run properly on AMD systems as its IMC can only handle 1600.
1600 is really your only choice here

With the 1090T you will notice better performance with tighter timings, rather than a faster speed; especially if you are planning on overclocking. So I would look for at least CL8 memory if I were you; hope that helps

 

[uncholowapo]

2000Mhz won't be able to run on a 1090t. You'd be better off buying a nice 1600 kit.

2000 runs on 1090T.
2000 9-9-9 is little bit faster than 1600 6-6-6

That depends on the 1090t in question.

Also, that's "a little bit faster - in very specific benchmarks" there will be absolutely zero real world difference.

Actually that is not 100% true at all... it depends on a lot of things.. especially what Brand and Model RAM you are using, not to mention what motherboard you are running the sticks on, what their required voltage is, etc. It also depends on what program you are using to test that is "faster." You cannot just say that every stick of RAM set to 2000Mhz 9-9-9 will beat every 1600 stick at 6-6-6.

I have 2 1090 CPUs, and both had no problem running with RAM @ 2000(1 on water, 1 on air)
If 2000 vs 1600 is zero real world difference, lets use 1066, because 1600 vs 1066 is zero real world difference too

I used the same sticks, just for the tests(Maxxmem). Clocked them at 2000 9-9-9 and 1667 6-6-6,
RAM was A-DATA @ 2200 8-8-8-24

I hit 2000
G.Skill PIS 7-9-7-24
OCZ Platinum 9-9-9-24
A-DATA max was 1950 7-7-7-21

would like to see the results of 8+hrs of blend with that setup.....

its common knowledge that AMD C3 IMC does not like 1600+ speeds,its also common knowledge that the OP doesnt have a 1090 (which btw has an E0 IMC) processor anyway so your epeen has no weight in this thread

http://www.overclock.net/amd-memory/...e-explain.html

Soak up the knowledge......

 

[xd_1771]

Low timings respond well to and can equal the output of high speed on AMD. This is why 1600 CL6-7 can close or match 2000 CL9. If this were intel your 1600 CL6-7 results would be well behind 2000 CL9.

Check this.
RAM @ 1940 7-7-7-21, 6+ hours P95-blend
RAM @ 1920 6-9-6-24, 24 hours P95-blend

So, its running @ 1600+
Soak up the facts....

edit: Im a blind tool who thought the op had a 955 for some reason...apologies

Not E0? side note: i like the widgets,nice touch,i wanz.

C3 then
Ram @ 1845,

EDIT : accepted

 

[B NEGATIVE]

That is a good clock right there...

well look again i do have a 1090T check my system

maybe you should read the rest of the posts where i explain my error.
