i currently have this ram:

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit

i havent touched the voltages so its running at stock which i believe is 1.9v

on each module it has 2.1v on them so im assuming that that is the recommended voltages that you should set for each module.

i have never tried to adjust voltages before so could some1 please direct me on how to do it and isit really worth it.

thanks

Hiya,
Easiest way to explain is .........

This pic is my ram settings

ramtimingsandvoltage.jpg


Notice the different timings and voltages ??

Mines running at 2.1v as it's running the end one on the right

It's like pre-flashed configs into the ram modules

If you manually change timings then you may need to increase voltage

If not messing just leave on SPD (Auto) and it will take care of itself

It could increase the stability of them, also the latencies might not be set to what is stated on them.

I would have to know what motherboard/BIOS you are using to guide you exactly through uping the voltages, but the should be a section called something like memory configuration where you can alter the voltage and latencies.
 
They'll be the safety timings (ie- what the motherboard can boot with at the default 1.8v).
You'll only need to go to 2.1v (+0.3v in the Memory Overvoltage option) if you set the correct 800mhz (400mhz in CPU-Z) timings of 4-4-4-12.

The timings may be in the MIT menu in your BIOS, or you may have to hit Ctrl and F1 together on the main BIOS screen to unlock them. They'll be in the correct order ie - the top one will need to be set to '4', then the second one to 4, the third to 4, and finally the fourth to 12.
 
i set the "standard timings" to 4-4-4-12.

i hope thats right.

do i need to manually set the correct mhz. if so how do i do that?
 
The System Memory Multiplier option will enable you to set the memory to its correct speed (eg - If your FSB is 266mhz, then selecting the x3.0 memory multiplier will have the memory running at its stock 800mhz speed).
