OCZ DDR2 PC2 8500 REAPER HPC

[H0W42D]

Hey guys,

I have just built my new rig got a q about m y ram, if ya would be kind to steer me in the right direction

Mobo - ASUS P5N-T Delux (1303 BIOS)
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 (running 1600 FSB @3.6ghz)
Ram DDR2 PC2 8500 REAPER HCP X2 2048 Sticks

Now I have set the ram to 1066Mhz and post shows this also in the bios I have set the SLI on Expert for memory, I have used memtest to show my timings n volts:
5
5
5
15
26
2T
2.1v

Now please correct me as im still picking up stuff mem test shows my chips set as Nvidia NForce 680i SLI?? I have a 780i board this right or do i need to change something also CPUz shows me running PC2 6400 BUT from what I have read this is common hence why I used mem test??

basically is my ram all set up to use it as its best

Cheers guys

Dan

Try the RAM a 2.0V - 6 series chipets over volt the RAM slightly.

The 7 series boards are just a revision of the 6 series unless you get the790i which is a completely 'from scratch' chipset. Older versions of memtest may report yours as a 6 series. Doesn't mean anything is wrong. What does CPUz say?

No Vista Ultimate 32 bit.. odd as it used to show up in my side bar tool as 3 gig and that i idle around 800 with 2.2 spare now i get 2557 idle the same but seems to me 512 less ... the only thing i have changed is gone up from a x850xt 256 card to a nvidia 8800 gt oc2 512 card?? could this of done anything?
