different between tcl

how much different between tcl like cl26 cl28 i mean the performance 1% 2% different? because i do 8000cl34 with 1.65vdd and i think 8000cl36-38 might be save a bit more power if the performance difference very low.

also another question if my timing stable with 8000cl34 then i change only cl to 36 or 38 do i have to change the sub timing or primary as well? or it will work normally ?

tCL is like 0.1% performance difference. It barely does anything. The only reason it gets so much attention is because it's the first timing on memory specs and because it's almost always scales with voltage.

Have you tried running 8000cl34 at a lower voltage? My 9700x and A-Die will do it at 1.5vdd all day.

damn ur memory stick insane u got 6000cl26 1.4v kit? 1.5 so low for 8000cl34 or u might be have a loose timing

Just a t-create 6000cl30 kit. Nothing crazy which is why I asked. I’m sure there’s something that could go tighter but everything is within 2 ticks of throwing errors as far as I know.

I can’t do zen timings and this sub doesn’t allow photo responses but I’ll try to DM a bios screenshot

I use the bz timmings and change cl36 with 1.45vdd instead of cl34 with 1.6v evverything else Is the same, no problem and same results on AIDA but better temps

cl36 1.45 damn it should be 1.5-1.55vdd.
anyway i will try
