4-3-2 versus 4-4-3



Here's a follow-up to my Corsair/Super Talent comparison. I ran both sets of RAM at 240X13 with 3:5 ratio, so memory speed was 400. I looked for the best secondary timings with both sets. The first screenshot is Corsair 8000UL @ 4-3-2. The second is Super Talent PC2-8000 @ 4-4-3. As you can see, less than a tenth of a second difference between the two in SuperPi 1M.

Super Talent did a very good job with these modules. The real key is RAM speed which is more important than timings. I used the 3:5 ratio for both tests. Now, I could run tighter timings at 3:4, but the RAM speed would be much lower.
