Hi,

I recently noticed my memory was running at 1333 and realised my memory was capable of 1600 so I set about sorting it out, forgive me for being vague but I'm not too good at this I've just started to mess with it

It was running at 1333, 1.5V and 8T/8T/8T/24

It wont boot at 1600, 1.6V and 8T/8T/8T/24

It will boot at 1600, 1.6V and 9T/9T/9T/24

Is it better to leave it as it is or revert back to the 1333 settings IE CAS 8 is better or is CAS 9 ok?

Is the voltage too high or should I try dropping it?

CPU if it matters is a Phenom 965 at 3.6

Thanks
 
Here's a screen shot of CPU-Z

Thanks, just tried it and get blue screen in windows at 1.5

Just set the voltage to auto but not sure what its applying as its not clear but the PC doesn't blue screen and CPU-Z states 1600 at 9T

Ok thanks, in the BIOS I change it to 1.6 but AMD Overdrive states its still 1.5 and Prime95 fails straight away, if I revert the memory back to old settings 1333 at 1.5 Prime95 runs ok :confused:

What I don't get is if its 1600 memory how come it wont run at 1600
 
I got it to run now, it didn't apply 1.6 the first for some reason, applied it again and double checked and its fine it now runs prime at 1600 cas9 and 1.6

Moved onto overclocking my cpu now trying to get to run at 3.8 but getting issues after half an hour
