RAM problems

Skeptic · 1 Aug 2011 at 23:12

Hi Guys,

Just running memcheck and noted that my RAM is running at;

532MHz / CAS 6-6-6-20

My RAM is;

OCZ OCZ3P1600C9ELV4GK Platinum PC3-12800 (1600MHZ) 2 x 2GB Kit 1.35V

and says on it [email protected]

Am I right in thinking that this is incorrect and needs changing? If so, how please?

I suspect that this is behind a number of problems with my pc.

Many thanks.

Its DDR (double data rate) so 532 X 2=1064mhz.

Whats the motherboard?

The one in this link. Can't find a website that's not a competitor. I bought it from here but it's not there anymore.

Well being a H67 chipset it only supports upto 1333mhz.

so to get this speed in the BIOS there will be a DRAM frequency setting somewhere.

So, for the non-technical among us

o)

I go into the bios, change the DRAM setting to 1333mhz and reboot? That's all i need to change?

Looking in the BIOS now and can't see this setting. FFs.

Im not familiar with the BIOS on this board.

D'oh then I'm stuck

suppose I could download the manual and have a look, give a few minutes.

Can't find the actual manual, but this one looks the same;

try installing the FOXONE software and click on Freq, then select DRAM and you can alter the frequency and apply the setting.

Thats all I can see, I cant see any pages in the BIOS to alter it.

And the setting i should use is...? Sorry, if i ever meet you I'll buy you a beer lol

stulid · 2 Aug 2011 at 00:03

Click on the "Freq" then "Dram" then set to 666mhz and apply.

666mhz x 2(DDR) = 1333mhz

Well I give up. The 'Freq' tab is greyed out and I cannot select it. Guess I'm not able to get the best from my system.

Looks that way.

put timings to 9-9-9-24 2T though. At the original timings (6-6-6-20) and that frequency (1600MHz), it's just gonna bomb (and I mean in a safe way, just not gonna run).

olivier renault · 2 Aug 2011 at 09:38

found the parts

http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-ddr3-pc3-12800-platinum-extreme-low-voltage-cl-9-dual-channel.html

So yeah, 9-9-9-24 (2T), 1.35V, 1333MHz (666.7MHz dual rate).

But my motherboard will not let me change the settings, or at least not from what I can see!

You cant.

Which is what I said.

The Foxone software was your only hope.
