Ramming speed?

So what's going on with RAM speed for X99?

When I got my Ripjaws 4 3000 CL15 I was expecting them to be replaced by now with 3200 CL12!

What has happened?

What is the cutting edge on X99 now....will Broadwell E bring a jump to tighter timings?

I'm assuming its the Haswell IMC - Skylake slaps it around like a fool right out of the box.

This seems to be the best Kit about for now

But I can already run mine at 14-15-15-15 with a bit of extra VDIMM and low VCCSA

Anyone OCd these at say 1.45v? on X99...what VCCSA? what timings?

OK so finally cracked and bought a kit of this....only to find one stick was DOA!

Still looks promising....

Well that's not good news Arne, only timing changes I have made is 13-13-13-28-1T, and secondary DRAM REF cycle time to 320
Here is a good thread to read, X99 and Z-170

dual vs quad channel memory? The ones Arne has says dual channel but if running 4 dims on x99 would that be quad channel or am I wrong. Just asking as messing with ram is something new to me . What is the benefit of dual vs quad channel on a x99 board if any? Still learning here and trying to take all info in like a sponge LOL

Yeah...one DIMM just sits there with 53 qcode and does not show up... on any slot...

Cheers for the link!

drop4205...yes it will run quad channel on X99...since the kit is binned together the four sticks...

It's a bit of a gamble taking this ram for the RVE but since I know my IMC is fairly strong I decided to risk it especially as I see menthol and gobe running it OK....

Interesting Arne.
Was looking at this set as well and seen people running it fine on the RVE.
It is also nicely priced.
I am Not a Ram expert so very interested what timings etc this set is running stable.
