Just two questions according to RAM speed and possible effects.
I run the X99-FTW-K with BIOS 2.08. Had 4x16 GB corsair vengeance LPX 3000 MHz CL15 running (using XMP Profile). Because they were not available at the
market the moment I wanted to upgrade I additionaly bought 4x16 GB corsair LPX 3333 MHz CL16. My thought was that they operate together at the lower 3000 MHz CL15.
No success. XMP did not sort it out. After hours of reading and trying possible configuration parameter combinations I ended up with 2800 Mhz and CL14. It is running rock solid - i7-6850k CPU permanently overclocking to 4.2 Ghz stable.
My questions would be.
1. Am I missing much with my current timings in relation to the 3000 MHz CL15
2. I have an offer to buy another 4x16 GB Kit of the same 3333 MHz CL16 LPX RAM. How likely is it the system will run all 8 sticks with 3333 MHz CL16 (and not staying with 2800 CL14) and - if they run that speed - is there a chance for a signifikant benefit in CPU / RAM intensive work in comparison to the 2800 CL 14?
Please let me know what you think.
Thank you
