Geil Memory question

AndyBorzi · 26 Oct 2006 at 12:50

I have the 2Gb Geil PC6400 Dual Channel kit in my Asus P5B Deluxe M/B (latest bios 711 i think) with a 6400 Core2Duo (not overclocked) but the memory is only detected as PC5300 (using CPU-Z)

I read somewhere (think it was on the ocuk forums) to change the freq to 800 in bios but CPU-Z still shows as PC5300. The thread also mentioned Geil leaflets explaining but I can't find the leaflet now.

Am I missing something?

Is there a big difference between the PC5300 and PC6400? My system is pretty fast as it is!

Cheers

Changed it to 2.1v and still detects at PC5300! Any thing else I should check?

Thanks guys for the reponses.

Have you changed your timings or left them to default?
