Changing Ram ratios

[raoul_1101]

does changing ram rations in the bios have an effect on the performance? if so, what? and why?

 

[oscaryu1]

As in Cas Latency?

 

[cheburns]

yea by ratio's do you mean timing or like the ram:cpu ratio of the speed?

 

[apj101]

i think he mean the ration between the the ram and the core clock, in which case there is a slight performance loss for not running the ram and cpu in sync (1:1) but this can be ofset be gains made if the ratio change is part of an overclocking solution

 

[raoul_1101]

thats what i meant, apj101.
If i overclock the FSB at a ram/cpu ratio of 1:1, if what i read is correct, that will overclock my ram, too. Is it easy to overclock ram into instability?

 

[Bradan]

what kind of ram? if it has heatspreaders which are little metal sheets that clip onto the ram, than most likely you can overclock 10-20%

 

[raoul_1101]

its corsair , gb chips, dont know the model. and if i dont have heatspreaders?
