    So I tried OC'ing G Skill to 2400 and it's stable. 15-15-15-35 with tRFC 362. I used the numbers from G-Skill desktop timings that Anandtech listed and adjusted to that.

    I ran Prime95 stressor that uses a lot of ram, and it's stable.

    Assuming that you not read the right information, here a simple formula to check latency on ddr3:

    2000 x (CL / Speed ) = Latency in nanoseconds (ns)

    2133 cl11 = 10.3ns
    2400 cl15 = 12,5ns

    So your 2133 cl11 is still faster in response vs the 2400 cl15 (but not in bandwidth). Check all with maxMemm benchmark

    Here the fisrt anandtech article on memory scaling :
    http://www.anandtech.com/show/6372/...333-to-ddr32400-on-ivy-bridge-igp-with-gskill

    Away from this, yours is a very good ram for 2133 at 1,35v, one of the best avalaible on market

    Regards,

    nice, looks like u were luckier than me with my corsair vengeance sticks :) can get them to 2400 but they arent prime-stable, unfortunately! how long did u run prime95 for?

    I adjusted the timings. 12-13-13-31 trFC 362 for benchmark

    10min

    For actual use: 13-13-13-31 313

    Also read tRFC scales with memory density, hence why tRFC is so high at 313.

    Oh , I miss my old W230ST mobo. It did 2400Mhz@CL10.
    My new W230SS (with same old RAM and CPU) doesn't even do 2400 at all... :(
