Hi
I have just (yesterday) built my new system with bits from OCUK.
It is based on the
Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme LGA775 QX6850 3.00GHz Retail / Asus Blitz Formula / 2GB Crucial PC2-8500C5 DDR2 Dual Channel Kit - Bundle.
Thus Far everything is running A OK and absolutely screams in comparison to my old 3.4 socket 478 system. However I being a complete novice (well its been a while since I have built a machine) Have left all settings in BIOS on Auto... and there lies my problem, CPU-Z tells me my Ram is PC2-6400 running at 400 Mhz... and the FSB: DRAM ratio is 5:6. I get the feeling that my ram isnt being used as efficiently as it should. I've had a look in the BIOS and have to admit I'm clueless as to what to change (minefield, soo many options
)
I'm not keen to thrash the nuts out of the board / CPU at the moment (stock fan/heatsink) but could someone offer advice as to what settings I can use to get the best out of my ram ?
cheers
Andrew
