Great stuff! Shall we sort the RAM out now? Just installing Windows updates right now.

We can - what does device manager look like - aware we haven't installed sound driver. Any yellow triangles?

Looks all good.

I'm going to try the quick method first with the memory - so we don't have to muck about with timings.

Set the XMP to profile 1

Change the memory multiplier/Frequency to 2933 manually and the voltage to 1.35V

Save and exit and hope.

Great.

If it proves stable at 2933 we'll have another play when the May update is released.

Install CPU-z

BeadyRoller · 13 May 2017 at 12:08

Correct?

Plec · 13 May 2017 at 12:09

Looks good.

You set the multiplier and voltage manually, yes?

BeadyRoller · 13 May 2017 at 12:10

The voltage was already at 1.35

Plec · 13 May 2017 at 12:11

Ok, save and exit.

Plec · 13 May 2017 at 12:11

If this fails we may have to loosen the timings

BeadyRoller · 13 May 2017 at 12:12

It's booted first time... Going to download CPU Z

Plec · 13 May 2017 at 12:12

Yay!

ANd yes.

(It's no grantee it will be stable - but it's a good start)

BeadyRoller · 13 May 2017 at 12:14

Right what am i looking for?

Plec · 13 May 2017 at 12:15

SPD tab

Sorry memory tab

Take a pic - save you writing them out

Saying DRAM frequency is 1463.7mhz ....

Plec · 13 May 2017 at 12:18

perfect

Have you installed the latest nVidia drivers?

(don't install the 3D stuff - no need for it)

BeadyRoller · 13 May 2017 at 12:18

Is it? I was worrying it was only running at 1463mhz..

Yeah, think I did install them. Oops..

Doesn't matter.

But you have the latest drivers installed?

BeadyRoller · 13 May 2017 at 12:20

All ok?
