OK I need some low profile ( because of my CPU Cooler) ram....@ this time i have 16 Gigs of Corsair blue ram @1866...although i have it set @1600....also im looking at bang for buck here ..thanx

the reason I'm thinking of getting new ram is cos in my BIOS my ram is showing up @1756 or thereabouts ...unless its a Mobo issue ?

thanx

Where is it saying that? Can you post a picture

in the BIOS ...it happened after i had chosen Optimal in the BIOS cos i wanted to see what if any difference it would make ...but ...i think it may just be for regulating the Voltages as apposed to "ramping " anything up ...i did change it back to " Normal " ...but its not gone back to what i would normally expect to see where you can choose what the ram settings can be , in respect of speeds ie ...1066, 1333,1600 , 1866 n so on , ..instead i see different speeds that i have not seen before from 800, 1400..and speeds like that ...and up, there are two pics i got ...sorry if they are not too sharp

Well its certainly registering the RAM, in the first pic it says it's all there....

When I first installed Samsung Green I had to clear my Cmos or it just wouldnt register properly, try clearing your cmos to see if it makes any difference, button should be on the back panel or on the motherboard, hold it down for about 4 seconds

nahh no button ( would have been easier ) lol...just the jumper i think , and if i cant find that...i can just take the battery out yeah ?

If you have the motherboard manual it'll show you in there.... If you haven't that go to the manufacturers website and you'll be able to download it as a PDF
