System Memory Bandwidth Performance and Tweaking

System Memory Bandwidth Performance and Tweaking

As explained - Intel has a couple of certified partners for memory to get some sweet XMP (Xtreme Memory Profiles) 2.0 profiles going. We test memory both at the default XMP 2.0 enabled at 3600 MHz as well as tweak it a bit.

Memory Tweaking

So we applied 4000/3866/3700 MHz to the setup while keeping the same timings, unfortunately, that did not boot so we dropped the frequency and raised voltage towards 1.4 Volts on the DIMMs. Unfortunately, we've been unable to overclock even 100 MHz. You could probably reach higher frequencies but you'd need to loosen up timings, which we cannot advise.
