How to change the XMP profile of a RAM stick?

Golovna

Setting up

The website regularly contains reviews of new memory modules.

This time we are protesting Swiss dual-channel DDR3 memory sets with a total capacity of 16 GB.

In order to demonstrate the safety of heatsinks on memory modules, we used a temperature meter, which allows us to remotely measure temperature changes.

Once we tested a DDR3-2400 memory module with a heatsink, and another time without it.

The live voltage became 1.65 V (the standard live voltage is 1.5 V).

It is expected that, according to the JEDEC standard, the maximum (effective) frequency of DDR3 memory becomes 1333 MHz with timings 9-9-9 and a voltage of 1.5 V. Of course, DDR3 memory will normally operate at a frequency of 1333 MHz at 1.5 V Prota, all memory generators vibrate and more high-speed modules (DDR3-1600/1866/2133/2400/2600), guaranteeing their stable operation in such overclocking mode.

Memory operation at higher frequencies can be implemented through an XMP profile, in which the frequency, voltage and timings are specified, and when setting all the parameters in manual mode (as the BIOS of the board does not support operation XMP profiles).

However, it is important to remember that the ability of memory to operate at its greatest speed, as provided by the JEDEC specification, lies not only in the module, but also in the memory controller integrated into the processor. For the new fourth generation Intel Core processors (codenamed Haswell), the memory controller officially supports DDR3-1600 memory. The increase in productivity (speed of output) due to an increase in memory frequency simply does not materialize.

The fact that you increase the memory frequency twice does not mean that there will be programs in which the memory speed will also increase twice.

In some cases, such an increase in clock frequency does not affect speed, but in others, the increase in speed will be even more modest.

This means that in the processor, an increase in the clock frequency in many (or not all) add-ons leads to an adequate increase in the speed of the computer system, and with memory everything is different.

This, of course, is hot, but it clearly characterizes the audience that the memory module is oriented towards.

Memory HyperX Predator KHX24C11T2K2/8X is a set of two DDR3-2400 modules with a total volume of 8 GB.

It’s important to note that we used two sets of HyperX Predator KHX24C11T2K2/8X memory to bring the total volume to 16 GB.

These memory modules are labeled KHX24C11T2K2/8X.

It seems that for Kingston HyperX memory modules the decryption of the marking is coming.

The first three letters – KHX – talk about those who remember Kingston HyperX.

The next two digits indicate the memory clock frequency.

Below are the test results for a set of memory modules Kingston HyperX Predator DDR3-2400 KHX24C11T2K2/8X at a frequency of 1333 MHz (9-9-9-24) and 2400 MHz (11-13-13-30) using the AIDA6 program.

Once again, we remember that when we tested two sets of Kingston HyperX Predator DDR3-2400 KHX24C11T2K2/8X memory.

Kingston HyperX Beast KHX21C11T3K2/16X

The Kingston HyperX Beast KHX21C11T3K2/16X memory is comparable to the Kingston series overclocker gaming memory.

The difference between the memory modules of this series lies in the fact that they contain black-colored circuit boards and a black aluminum heatsink.

On the manufacturer’s website it is stated that this design is based on HyperX fantasies “for the aggressive improvement of any enthusiast’s systems.”

It’s not at all clear what’s going on with respect (perhaps, due to the peculiarity of the translation), but “for the waste of HyperX forfeits” - this is just like in the USSR, if prices were pushed for the waste of workers.

Again, according to the manufacturer’s website, the HyperX Beast series memory modules are designed to work with third-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and AMD processors.

Well, there is only one comment here - this information is already outdated, and the memory modules of this series are miraculously compatible with fourth-generation Intel Core processors.

Additionally, the HyperX Beast series memory modules are available in dual-channel and multi-channel kits with capacities ranging from 8 to 64 GB and frequencies up to 2400 MHz.

The module of this series comes with a lifetime warranty.

In addition, as stated, the Kingston HyperX Beast KHX21C11T3K2/16X memory kit operates without problems at a frequency of 2400 MHz, and at the same timings as at a frequency of 2133 MHz.

Geil Evo Veloce Frost White GEW316GB2400C11ADC

The Geil Evo Veloce Frost White GEW316GB2400C11ADC dual-channel memory kit is part of the series announced by the company in 2012.

Memory kits of the series are equipped with Maximum Thermal Conduction & Dissipation cooling radiators in red or white colors.

Memory modules with white-colored radiators are called Frost White, and those with red-colored radiators are called Hot-rod Red.

We need to say that in Geil’s assortment there are simply no different series of DDR3 memory, and in each series there are a number of options for memory modules.

The need for such a great range of products is not at all clear.

It is also obvious that if we throw out all the marketing “nonsense”, it becomes clear that the memory modules that are located behind different color radiators and are related to different series are essentially the same.

Guaranteed performance with Intel X79 and Intel Z77 chipsets is explained by the fact that motherboards based on these chipsets support Intel XMP memory profiles.

Today, the support of XMP profiles is provided by a large number of chipsets (for example, Intel 8-series chipsets), so you can guarantee the usefulness of this memory with XMP-pro Ilem i on boards with Intel Z87 chipset.

It’s no less obvious that on boards with AMD chipsets, Intel XMP profiles are not supported, and to run this memory in overclocked mode, you need to set the frequency, voltage and timings manually.

It is significant that the series of dual-channel DDR3-2400 Geil Evo Veloce Frost White memory also includes 8 and 16 GB memory kits with timings 9-11-10-28 (GEW38GB2400C9DC/GEW316GB2400C9DC), 10-11-10 6GB240 0C10DC) , 10-12-12-30 (GEW38GB2400C10ADC/GEW316GB2400C10ADC), 11-11-11-30 (GEW38GB2400C11DC/GEW316GB2400C11DC).

Also, the GEW316GB2400C11ADC memory kit has the least aggressive timings in the DDR3-2400 Geil Evo Veloce Frost White line, being the youngest model in the series.

On our test bench, the Geil Evo Veloce Frost White GEW316GB2400C11ADC memory started up without problems under the XMP profile at a frequency of 2400 MHz.

The frequency of 2600 MHz, with constant timings, turned out to be beyond the capabilities of these memory modules.

However, increasing the main timings by one scale makes it easy to run this memory at a frequency of 2600 MHz.

Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M2A1866C9

Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M2A1866C9 is a dual-channel set of DDR3-1866 memory modules with a total capacity of 16 GB (2x8 GB).

This memory kit is also available for the Corsair Vengeance series, aimed at overclockers.

Due to the design of aluminum heatsinks, the dual-channel memory modules of the Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M2A1866C9 practically do not differ from the four-channel memory modules of the Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4X2133C11R.

However, as it was clear, the frequency of 1866 MHz is not the limit for this memory and it can be easily upscaled to a frequency of 2000 MHz at the same timings as for the frequency of 1866 MHz.

Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4X2133C11R

Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4X2133C11R is a set of four DDR3-2133 memory modules with a total capacity of 16 GB (4 × 4 GB).

This set of memory is available for the Corsair Vengeance series, aimed at overclockers.

Based on this information, the Corsair Vengeance series memory modules have memory chips selected specifically to ensure high performance potential.

The modules of this kit are equipped with radiators, which not only provide heat dissipation, but also serve as an element of aggressive design, which is ideal for computers.

The heatsink on the memory module consists of two aluminum plates (one plate on the skin side of the module) with a thickness of 1 mm, which are coated in a burgundy color and bear stickers from the designated series and characteristics of the module.

The height of the memory modules with the radiator arrangement is 53 mm, and the width is 17 mm.

It is significant that the Corsair Vengeance series includes one-, two-, three-channel memory kits with a volume of 4 to 16 GB, which vary in timings, color, and even the shape of the radiator.

The Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4X2133C11R kit, as we already mentioned, consists of four memory modules with a capacity of 4 GB each.

Apparently, this set can be used in dual-channel or multi-channel memory modes.

According to the information, Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4X2133C11R memory modules support a frequency of 2133 MHz with timings of 11-11-11-27 and a voltage of 1.5 V.

Of course, this mode of operation corresponds to the XMP profile.

And in the standard mode, the memory operates in DDR3-1333 mode with timings of 9-9-9-24.

This set of memory is available for the Corsair Vengeance Pro series, aimed at overclockers.

It is clear that the memory kits of the Corsair Vengeance Pro series are specially designed for third- and fourth-generation Intel Core processors.

Memory modules of this series have aluminum heatsinks of different colors.

The height of the memory modules with the radiator arrangement is 46 mm, and the width is 17.5 mm.

The Corsair Vengeance Pro series includes kits that consist of two or four memory modules with a total capacity of 8 to 32 GB and a frequency of 1600 to 2400 MHz.

The Corsair Vengeance Pro CMY16GX3M4A2400C10R memory kit, as we already mentioned, consists of two memory modules with a capacity of 8 GB each.

These memory modules are equipped with black-colored aluminum radiators with a decorative burgundy insert.

On one side of the radiator there is a sticker with information about the memory series (Vengeance Pro), and on the other side there is a sticker with information about the characteristics of the memory module (frequency, timings, voltage).

According to the information, the Corsair Vengeance Pro CMY16GX3M4A2400C10R memory modules support a frequency of 2400 MHz with timings of 10-12-12-31 and a voltage of 1.65 V.

Of course, this mode of operation is consistent with the XMP profile.

And in the standard mode, the memory operates in DDR-1333 mode with timings of 9-9-9-24.

• As it turned out during the testing, with the Corsair Vengeance Pro CMY16GX3M4A2400C10R modules everything turned out to be quite difficult.
  • On the right is that the XMP profile is stated for the frequency of 2400 MHz every day.
  • The replacement is an XMP profile at a frequency of 1866 MHz with timings 9-10-9-27.
• However, when this profile is activated in the BIOS, the memory operates at a frequency of 1800 MHz, and not 1866 MHz.
  • It’s important that if you set the memory frequency, voltage and timings in the BIOS manually (2400 MHz, 1.65 V, 10-12-12-31), then the memory works as it should.
  • Testing
• Well, our tester suffered from six sets of memory, from any protests in two modes of operation:
  • Corsair Vengeance Pro
  • Corsair CMY16GX3M2A2400C10R @1800 MHz 9-10-9-27
• Corsair CMY16GX3M2A2400C10R @2400 MHz 10-12-12-31
  • Corsair Vengeance (DDR3-1866)
  • Corsair CMZ16GX3M2A1866C9 @1866 MHz 9-10-9-27
• Corsair CMZ16GX3M2A1866C9 @2000 MHz 9-10-9-27
  • Kingston KHX21C11T3K2/16X @2133 MHz 11-12-11-30
  • Kingston KHX21C11T3K2/16X @2400 MHz 11-12-11-30
• Kingston HyperX Predator
  • Kingston KHX24C11T2K2/8X @1333 MHz 9-9-9-24
  • Kingston KHX24C11T2K2/8X @2400 MHz 11-13-13-30

For testing, we used a stand with an offensive configuration:

• processor - Intel Core i7-4770K;
• motherboard - ASRock Z87 OC Formula;
• chipset – Intel Z87;
• kokonchuvach – Intel SSD 520 Series (240 GB);
• Operating system – Windows 8 (64-bit).

Perhaps the most interesting task when testing memory is to know those programs that can actually increase the difference in productivity for memory with different frequencies.

Initially, we used the synthetic AIDA64 test, which allows us to measure the speed of reading, writing and copying data, as well as memory latency.

The results of this synthetic test are given below.

The basis was the Kingston HyperX KHX24C11T2K2/8X memory in 1333 MHz mode with timings 9-9-9-24, which corresponds to JEDEC specifications.

As a matter of fact, here you can make a difference between DDR3-1333 memory and memory with a higher clock frequency.

However, this test is synthetic.

And now we’ll wonder what will be in the tests based on real additives.

• As we have already said, not all add-ons are “sensitive” to memory speed - more precisely, most add-ons are entirely sufficient for the bandwidth of DDR3-1333, and further increases in memory frequency become useless.
• Tim no less, we were able to find a number of test tasks based on real programs, in which it is possible to record the difference in system productivity with different memory modules with different frequencies.
• As a result, we selected the following set of programs for testing:
• MediaCoder x64 0.8.25.5560;

When testing the memory, all tests were run three times, between each start the computer was restarted.

Test results

The addition of Adobe Photoshop CC has proven to be even more sensitive to the speed of memory.

Here we found that it can truly be called a difference: 11% between the best and the highest result.

However, the largest one here, obviously, is the memory display of DDR3-1333, and if we take DDR3-1800 as the base display, then the difference, unfortunately, drops to 5%.

The results of the test based on Adobe Audition CC programs with our methodology are not intended to demonstrate the advantages of Swedish memory, but rather to demonstrate the presence of these advantages in rich add-ons.

In our test based on this program, the difference between the worst and the worst results is only 2%, so there is practically no difference at all.

And the data compression test axis based on the WinRAR 5.0 program is very sensitive to the speed of memory.

The Photoshop record is unattainable here, but the difference between the best and worst results is a decent 9.5%, which is really bad.

If we are talking about a top-end, high-performance PC based on a processor, for example, an Intel Core i7-4770K and a motherboard based on the Intel Z87 chipset, then you can expect hundreds of additional productivity for the cost of high-speed memory. and may appear unnoticed, and therefore there is no sense to protect the memory 'yati.

Moreover, the difference in performance between the standard and standard memory is quite small (as compared to the performance of a similar computer as a whole, understandably).

If we are talking about a basic inexpensive or office PC, then there is no sense in the Swedish memory. While there is a lot of talk about choosing a specific processor (Kingston, Corsair, Geil, Samsung, etc.), we remember once again that all memory modules have chips from Samsung, Micron and Hynix. And, for the most part, it is absolutely unimportant who is the generator of the memory module.

It's possible that this will remain, but it's worth it.

Hello admin, tell me before

How to use the XMP RAM profile?

I have an Intel Core i7-3770 processor in the system installation, having purchased a new Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9 D3/4GX memory, as I understand the letters with the number “C9” indicate timings 9-9-9-27. Also, on all sites that sell such memory, the characteristics indicate the same numbers 9-9-9-27,

Anyway, after installing the RAM into the computer, I launch the CPU-Z program, go to the Memory tab and it shows completely different timings 11-11-11-28,

Is there also the SPD tab, which shows the factory memory characteristics, and there you can see that the plate can run with the latest timings 9-9-9-27? How can I make sure that the operating systems work with the same timings as indicated in their characteristics? The Internet seems to need to be turned on before

XMP memory profile in BIOS, how can I get it? Hello friends! So that you all understand, I’ll explain in two words what timings are and what XMP is - eXtreme Memory Profiles. Timings ( time delay signal) orXMP, primarily for what you need support for XMP technology on the motherboard

Almost all new motherboards and projects profile XMP for help setting up the BIOS (for troubleshooting).

If the XMP profile is not enabled, this means the motherboard sets the standard frequency, timings and voltage to its factory specifications.

Let's take a look at the XMP memory profile in the BIOS of the ASUS motherboard

On my work computer I have the same processor and the same RAM as our reader. Log in to Bios and go to the tab

Ai Tweaker Here we need an option AI Overclock Tuner , you know us in Auto To mean the XMP profile is not active, click on Auto with the left mouse and select from the menu.

X.M.P.

As for the X.M.P profile, the tasks have been transferred to us and the RAM now operates with higher timings.

Most people who are involved in building their own computer put a lot of emphasis on RAM, which allows the system to run smoothly, as little as a standard.

You should not run with default timings unless you manually adjust your timings or disable XMP Intel.

Rozgin

" 9-9-9-27 Activate the XMP profile and select a profile.

Let me know you only have one profile. If there are more, you can select two profiles, and then select one of the shortest available ones. And there I guessed the phrase “XMP RAM profile”. 11-11-11-28

Today I will reveal the significance of this and explain a number of points. It is possible that you have a RAM module that operates with timings.

The letter with the number C9 in the description should not be brought to the module.

If you look at the characteristics of the module on the Internet, you can get the same numbers – 9-9-9-27.

If you install such a bracket on your computer and run the CPU-Z program, and then go to the tab

"Memory"

, then it is possible that there will be timings

How about going to the tab"SPD"

, then the timings will be indicated there, as written in the characteristics of the module, then 9-9-9-27. So, how to work so that the RAM works at the same timings as indicated in the characteristics?

What is the purpose of the XMP profile, which we’ll talk about in a moment.

If you need something new to wear, the UGG Australia booties may be the way to go.

You can find them in the online store http://allshoes.com.ua.

There you can find out about other views of the world.

Immediately after the release of any new processor platform, either AMD or Intel, certain problems appear.

The new AMD Ryzen processors are not a culprit.

However, it is still not possible to work with RAM modules at high clock speeds, and there may also be problems with memory overclocking.

The new AMD Ryzen processors are not a culprit.

For example, our observer picked up the frequency of 2666 MHz, but at 2933 MHz the POST on the right did not reach.
