I am new to the home-build PC community, and have just built this rig (my first):
Intel Core i5-2500K & Asus P8P67 Intel P67 Motherboard Bundle
Asus GeForce GTX 480 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with Far Cry 2
XFX Pro 650W Core Edition Power Supply
Zalman Z9 Plus Tower Case With Fan Cooler
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache
OcUK 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black)
OCZ Special OPS 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
But, I am unsure of what BIOS settings I should have. I have selected the 'Load Optimized Defaults' option as I thought it would set everything correctly automatically.
However, I have been looking through it and one thing I caught was that on 'Advanced Mode' - 'Ai Tweaker' the 'Target DRAM Speed' is 1333MHz.
Now I may be completely wrong here, but shouldn't that be set at 1600MHz for the RAM I have?
And if so, what other settings may not be set correctly?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
