Kingston HyperX DDR2 8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel

Heyy, I bought the "*OVERCLOCKED* Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 @ 3.20GHz / Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3 Intel P43 Motherboard / Kingston HyperX 4GB 8500C5 DDR2 Bundle" bundle from Overclockers and installed it in my computer.
It all runs fine, cpu overclocked to 3.2ghz but the ram is only running at 800mhz, I think its something to do with voltages but im unsure... Btw, its ruynning at 1.8v i think...

Any help

wow, I wasnt expecting such a quick reply

Thanks for your posts, I thought it was strange that it wasnt stock at 1066, but tbh... Its fast anyway

How easy would it be to overclock to maybe 3.5+??

Thanks

Just read the description of the ram;
"Each module pair has been tested to run at DDR2- 1066MHz at a latency timing of 5-5-5-15 at 2.2V. The SPD is programmed to JEDEC standard latency 800Mhz timing of 5-5-5-18 at 1.8V."
So id only get 1066 @ 2.2v

Okay, Ill leave the ram alone then.
How easy is overclocking the CPU then?
BTW, this is my first computer build, and first time overclocking....

Okay, thanks.
Ill post a new topic in the overclocking section of the forum when i come to actually overclock it

Sorry I didn't know, better?

Yeah I thought it would be useful to have it there

I used a bus speed of 280 and multipler of 12.5.

280*12.5 = 3500mhz

My RAM divider is 3:5 (FSB

RAM)

therefore my ram runs at 933mhz
