What does the command rate do? The memory is pny 1866 cas 10 1.5v. It won't do cas 9 at stock voltage. It is almost stable at 2400mhz at cas 11, 1.65v.
If you want higher than 1866, then try 2133.
You know! . . . It's not going to make a lot of difference, and if you wanted to run RAM at that speed, it would've been more cost-effective to buy RAM rated higher than 1866. There isn't that much price variation to make memory overclocking much worth it anymore.
But the command-rate -- the number of clock-cycles need to execute a memory operation or command -- can give a little speed-boost without raising voltage or changing the timings. It COULD require a slight increase in the VTT/VCCIO or "System Agent" voltage for the integrated memory controller, but for some makes (G.SKILL) -- not much. At their spec speed, voltage and timings, I have a 4x4 set of Corsair XMS3 with my current VCCIO setting at only 1.075V, and I think I can drop that another 0.030V. The stock value is somewhere close to 1.005 to 1.009V. For whatever overclock on the CPU and the number of modules, there is a sweet-spot for the IMC voltage neither too high nor too low, but the lower it will run, the better.
I had used benchmarks before to assess the impact of CMD=1 for both DDR2 and DDR3 RAM. With my G.SKILLs, my ASUS Z68 and Z77 motherboards automatically override the XMP settings and configure under "Auto" to a 1T command-rate. The result certainly shows up in the benchies. Although I could be experiencing a "Placebo effect" to some extent, I nevertheless thought that I could "feel" the difference.
Back in the day of DDR and DDR2 when I had to RMA a pair of Ballistix, a Crucial tech-support rep told me "you're not supposed to run them at 1T. It's outta spec! You'll invalidate your warranty . . yada-yada-yada." But the exchange occurred at a time when Crucial was having a barrage of RMA returns because (perhaps) they'd spec'd the VDIMM voltage warranty limit too high.
I'd had a good e-mail exchange going with G.SKILL tech-support on several occasions with DDR2 and DDR3. Their reply on the command-rate question was something like this: "Oh, yeah! You should be able to do that. You shouldn't need to bump up the VCCIO very much! [if at all]." The implication being that you needn't change the VDIMM voltage, and their Ripjaws or other kits were perfectly capable for it.
