Radeon memory

[Heini]

A friend pointed out that my machine is all ASUS and AMD/Radeon and suggested I try Radeon memory. I have no reason to dump the G.Skill Sniper but I am curious if anyone has tried the Radeon ram. I hear it's made by Patriot but know nothing about it.

Sabertooth memory specs are "Memory Standard DDR3 1866/1600/1333/1066" with default @ 1600. 1866 should be easy so I thought I'd get the 2133 stuff hoping the board might do it, if not I'll dial it down. I've never overclocked so is it safe to assume that slower speed than 2133 (ie. 1866 or 1600) might allow me to tighten the timings from the default 10-11-11-30?

Yes, you certainly can try tightening the memory timings!

A good idea is to run memtest86+ at least 4 cycles to be sure that it is absolutely stable... bad memories can mess up the OS very easily...

Got the ram (AMD Radeon Gamer (4x8GB)2133) today and it booted to 1600. Went into bios and selected 1866 and all has gone well through a couple hours of gaming. I don't what the timings are but maybe I'll pop up on the MB forum asking for help tweeking.

Forgot about AMP. Went in and it allowed 2133 or 2400 only so I selected 2133 and it loaded the profile. Everything is good to go now but maybe some day I'll try the system at 2400.

Radeon memory!? How havn't I known about this? I've always had AMD cards....next time.
