New ram problem

[William-Mathew]

Hi guys

I ordered some teamgroup ram and it has come today:
YOUR BASKET
1 x TeamGroup Vulcan RED 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLD38G2400HC11CDC01) £65.99
Total : £69.90 (includes shipping : £3.26).



I put it in my system now and i have just run CPU-Z and it is only showing it is running at about 1300MHz for both sticks:

Is it running at the 2400MHz it is meant to or do i have to change somting in the BIOS?

Thanks

BIOS. Enable XMP settings for the memory and make sure it's @ 2400MHz (if your CPU/Mobo can cope with that speed, otherwise set it to a lower speed).

What motherboard are you using?

 

[William-Mathew]

It's a bad mobo at the moment. (I am upgrading soon). It's a gigabyte 78lmt-usb3

Do I need to change the settings on the BIOS?

Do I need to change the settings on the BIOS?

Yes

I am trying to change the MHz of it because the mobo has set it at 1333MHz. What would I need to do to up the MHz?:

I have never done anything like this before so I need some guidance.

Your link does not work, but looking at the specs of the motherboard it mention 1333 MHz + is done via overclocking the CPU, but it depends how good your CPU is will depends on how far the memory goes.

Usually you just increase the memory multiplier in the BIOS.

If I increase the memory multiplayer do I need to increase the voltage?

Have a check, you might need to up it to 1.65v

Yes Voltage needs to be 1.65v, then your memory clock left @ x12 which seems to be 2400mhz from your screen shot.

Check that your board supports it first. You may need to lower slightly to 2133mhz for stability.

Ok thanks for your help
