my ram is corsair xms2 1066mhz 2048 2.10v 5 6 6 18 8500c5c when i look in the cpuiz mem it says they are set at 5 5 5 18 2t i have in bios mem set to auto.

what is the best way to set this manually please
thanks
 
Can you change the bios overclock setting from auto to xmp. That will set the memory to its rated specs, at the min its probaly underclocked
But I still prefer setting it manually, what motherboard have you got

Set
AI overclock Tuner - Manual
Dram Frequency - 1066 (or as close to as 1066 as you can but keeping below it if you overclocked your fsb)
DRAM Command Rate - 2N
DRAM Timing Mode - Manual
CAS LAT - 5
RAS to CAS - 6
RAS PRE - 6
RAS Active -18
DRAM Voltage - 2.1

Hope that helps

I was just going by the figures you said in your first post, just double check the manufacturers site of your ram or the box to make sure the specs for voltage, frequnecy and timings are all correct
Yep is will show as T is bios and N is CPU-Z
Also in CPU-Z you ram frequnecy will show as half what to set it to is the bios, so between 500-600mhz.
I not sure about the other settings in your bios that can affect your ram, have you overclocked you cpu
