ok so. i bought 7600 ram that actually ended up making my cpu unstable (would create errors with large avx2 occt test) so after a buch of tinkering and trying to get it stable i decided to say fuck it. i am defeated that because i have a 4xdimm motherboard either the motherboard or my cpu IMC just does not like anything going 7400 or over.
so i decided im going to return the RAM and get 7200. (tested at that speed and no errors or anything)
my question is, theres 2 RAM i have my eyes on.
theres g.skill 7200 34-45-45-115. but then there is teamgroup 7200 that technically have tighter timings at 34-42-42-84. but i never used nor heard of teamgroup. but i also never really heard bad things about them either. need some opinions on this. they are around the same price. both RAM are on QVL list.
What’s your motherboard? I used to run 7600MT/s XMP stable on a Gigabyte Aorus Z790 Master.
Have the teamgroup t create expert overclocking 10l 7200 cl34 myself if that’s the one you’re referring to. I love it. It runs very cool at 1.46 at 34-42-40-76 and I was able to tighten secondary timings a lot.
Prior to buying I had found one Reddit post saying why were the best of a half a dozen kits or so.
Are you sure tree 7200 ram will be able to with 4 dimms?
4 dimms are only guaranteed to run at 4000mhz for 13900k. You can try 5600mhz, some reviewers said they can get it stable at that speed for 4dimms.
I’ve used team group in the past. I’d trust what they make and if it’s on the qvl then even better.
Ram isn’t the problem, it’s OPs IMC
what is your mainboard?
Try different ram but the cpu imc is what’s dictating how much speed you can run on it.
Odds are you won’t be able to get much higher than 7200mhz, if you can than great but not guaranteed.
You don’t need a new 7200 RAM kit. Just manually drop the frequency to 7200 MT/s and tighten the timings.
You can’t make any assumptions regarding your IMC quality as your motherboard is the reason your RAM is unstable >7200 MT/s. The only way you can remove this from the equation is purchase a new DIMM slot motherboard, like the Apex.
