Help With Memory Timings on AM3 Board

[Snax]

Hello,

If anyone could look at the screenshot below and confirm that I have set my memory timings correctly that would be very helpful. I really dont understand them very well and I have no idea if it is all running correctly:

I have

Memory: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-041-GS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

Mobo: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-366-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1481

I assume the RAM frequency should be showing 1600mhz (which I have set it as in the BIOS) but here is it only showing 800mhz

I also cant figure out how to adjust that FSBRAM ratio in the BIOS.

Nice one Snax, that all looks good to me! . . . has the motherboard set the memory up like that from [Auto], it looks perfect to me!

I see your running your unlocked processor already, as I mentioned in your other post you should take your time with everything and maybe consider running the new machine completely at stock for a day or two, some gaming, some stability tests, some benches, look at the voltages and the temps, basically give yourself enough time to get the *feel* of things, once that is done you will be in a much better position to start overclocking and unlocking etc . . . . do what you think is best but I hope you have a smooth ride as no one will be able to help you out if you have adjust ten different things, it will be hard to tell what the problem is!

I also cant figure out how to adjust that FSBRAM ratio in the BIOS.

Read the motherboard manual through a few times and give yourself some *BIOS* time, have a nose around and familiarise yourself with a few settings, ease into it and you will have a good time!

Heheh

Thanks BW: I posted this here before reading all the responses in overclocking.

I had the quad core unlock stability tested last night, so I am very happy with that.

I am going to take your advice and run everything stock for a while to see what is what.

The memory seems sorted, now I just have to wait for ATI to sort out their new driver release!

You are correct that tere are so many setting to look at for overclocking; despite having a stable system with 4 cores on auto (asus REALLY need applauding for their BIOS releases) I think that any overclock will need a lot of tweaking with voltages to the RAM, Northbridge and CPU which I am not going to attempt for a while.

I shall keep the overclocking section updated in a couple of weeks when I have a better understanding of the BIOS. I am still in kid in a candy store mode with this PC though

Must be really fast with the memory at 800MHz (DDR3-1600)

I'd be suprised if that didn't keep you happy for a few days running on full [auto] mode, the board has set-up the memory correctly.

I guess start with some simple Dual-Core CPU Multiplier Overclocking get a feel for how the chip clocks, what the temps are like, does it need any extra vCOre etc, that's an easy enough start . . .

I'm sure there will be scope to *tinker* with the memory/timings soon but I think you got your hands full for the moment!
