hey youtube welcome to tech es city this is brian is he coming back to you guys today with a video about ram more pacifically 1600 speed Ram versus 1866 speed ram and is there a difference for gaming so let's have a look at the results here and there's some of the results are pretty surprising I ran these tests so many times just to validate it and just to make sure that everything was checking out ok and yes this is what I got look here the cow shocking this is this is so if you guys are not changing any settings at all for your ramen bias you're missing out on a pretty big chunk of performance in some games obviously in other games not going to make a difference but I'll get onto that later as we can see here in Skyrim the worst case scenario versus the best case scenario this is for RAM only this is not all the CPU and GPU settings were the same and this is what was happening 13% difference from worst to best case scenario and that was huge so if you guys aren't changing your RAM and at least enabling the XMP profiles which I'll show you later how to do in this video you're missing out on a reasonable chunk of performance in some games and so it's important to do this if you are using the auto XMP profile the good news is that it's a pretty solid overclock it's a really good overclock as I saw here it netted me very solid results it compared to my sweet spot overclock the XMP 9920 for overclock which is what I was doing before I wasn't doing a simpie I was just dialing these numbers in before I actually spent a lot of time with this Ram overclock was that it was a pretty good result it was getting solid results and obviously I got to 2010/11 1032 and that didn't really make a difference so I decided that my sweet spot 24/7 overclock was going to be 1866 910 930 so let's move on to other games so let's have a look at black ops 2 with 1600 speed Ram 11-11-11 28 so these are timings and guys I'm bringing out the RAM overclocked tutorial soon ok so I'm going to explain all these timings I'm going to explain all this mumbo-jumbo soon but in the meantime we're just going to see the results here the auto setting versus my sweet spot overclocked for RAM now only netted a 2.3 2% in black ops 2 so that was not not much of a difference in World of Warcraft 64-bit the difference was almost 10% so these runs were as identical as I could get them though very accurate and it just showed that if you guys aren't changing any settings for your RAM and BIOS then you're missing out on a chunk of performance and so people are probably wondering why is this RAM overclocked why is this auto setting so bad and I put this down to the tier ass it's one of the timings this last timing here is called the T rest and if this is too aggressive which on the auto overclock it on the Auto clock not overclocked on the auto clock it is C it's - it's way too aggressive it's 28 and when I relax that to 32 it made a reasonable difference so I'm putting that down - the RAM just simply not being in sync as well as just being pretty slack the timings are just too relaxed but when I relax the cheer ass on the auto overclock it actually netted me a pretty significant difference so I think I'll put that down to this tier as just being way too aggressive that's why this Auto clock is just so bad so in conclusion let's have a look so I also did some multitasking as well so I did some light multitasking Styles listening to a song on YouTube and I'll skyping at the same time at 1600 speed 99 24 and 1866 my sweet spot overclocked and as you can see here it was consistent the frame drop was consistent among both time so I'll just pull up the fraps logs here the averages dropped by about 2 or 3 frames and so on both speeds so this means that Ram if you guys are light lightly multitasking and playing games is going to be no difference as well between 1600 and 1866 on an Ivy Bridge that being said there is one instance or I could probably think of a few where Ram speeds will make a difference and that is if you're a gold farmer if you've got 20 applications of World of Warcraft open at one time and your gold farming then you probably want to get some really high speed ram so but as for a normal person 99.9% of gamers out there just having 16 out of speed ram will be absolutely fine and the good news is is that all the ram I've recommended in the past will easily overclocked to 1866 and I'm going to show you that in the Ram overclocked tutorial especially Corsair Vengeance g.skill all that stuff with the heatsinks on it that'll Rover clock to 1866 no prob at all so in conclusion guys I will say 1600 speedram versus 1866 there was pretty much not much of a difference at all and this was 2% at best and even then I didn't tweak the 1600 speed as best as I can I just spent like I was like ad 1866 and I was like cool I'm going to focus on 1866 speed overclock and find the sweet spot there so if I if I I think if I spent more time at 1600 I could have basically got the same results as 1866 so in conclusion there's pretty much no difference at all the main point to take out of this video is that you should not be using the audio settings okay so if you guys aren't changing your RAM at all in BIOS then you should be and basically this comes in the form of either enabling XMP profiles or dialing in the settings yourself and I'll show you guys quickly how to enable the XMP profiles before I do my RAM overclocking tutorial video which I'm going to spend a lot of time doing I'm going to show you guys a lot of settings so let's get on to that and I'll show you how to do it okay guys so basically I want you to start your computer and just enter BIOS so you get out of the by eating the Delete key or usually the f2 key and now once you load up the BIOS screen you'll get a screen that looks similar to this if not looks exactly like this now every boss from different manufacturers will look different so if you have an induced motherboard or if you have a gigabyte motherboard the BIOS may look different this is the asrock UEFI BIOS now I want you to go over to overclock Tweaker and I've reset everything back to default so for this for this little tutorial I've reset everything else back to order so as to not confuse you guys with any numbers and less if you want you to go down to RAM configuration or DRAM timer configuration and as you can see here my ram has two XMP profiles it's got a ddr3 1600 speed and a ddr3 1860's speed profile so for me I'm not going to go as one point six volt 65 volt can be in some cases a little bit down for Ivy Bridge so I recommend you guys just load up the 1.5 volt XMP profile for now until I go over some when I do my ram overclocking tutorial I'll show you guys a lot more in depth and I'll explain things a lot more in depth but in the meantime if you haven't done any other for your round just go to here load XMP setting and I want to load the 1600 speed 1.5 volt XMP peripheral and that's what you do hit that and then your Ram will then configure itself to these timings and as you as you saw in the benchmarks these timers were a lot better well I had 999 24 dialed in manually before that but these this timing will net better results than the auto it alot better results so you want to be loading this XMP profile up so all you have to do is load XMP profile and then go save changes in exit that's all you have to do and you'll get yourselves a nice little overclock guaranteed Oh clapping around ok guys so in closing I will say I hope you enjoyed this little quick a bunch of tests that I ran and the little guide to enabling the accent be profiles and that's the main thing you should at least be doing and what an XMP profile is is basically a guaranteed overclock for your RAM so this is what the manufacturers have said all RAM runs at this speed and now I'll be talking a lot of more about this of the different settings and things about RAM and my overclocked tutorial when I make that I've got to spend a lot of time on that and I want to make it as easy as possible for you guys and so if you guys if you enjoyed this video today please give it a thumbs up and if you haven't already and you're a yes man then please subscribe to tech yes City and feel the power of you yes oh yeah so hey guys peace out for now and stay tuned for Tech Talks so sorry Tech Talk got delayed because of this video I spent a lot of time on it and researching it and also I've had I got the flu so I've been down and out for like a few days so yeah whatnot who cares you know you get sick so what move on we're going to move on some of you guys stay tuned for the next video and peace out for now Brian easy-bake
