Fixing RAM frequency

[rohan23]

These are my new readings:

Remember it's DUAL CHANNEL. So, 533x2=1066. Have you changed the voltages and subtimings?

Oh, is that how it works? I wasn't looking at the DRAM frequency as much as the max bandwidth value, but I don't really know what I'm doing. I did not mess with the voltages or timings at all; I just upped the frequency to 1066 in the bios.

 

[rohan23]

Well, you need to run it at the specifications set by the manufacturer. You will need to up the voltage to 2.100 V and change the subtimings to 5-5-5-15

 

[cowdood]

okay. it looks as though the timings are correct already, or am i missing something?

 

[rohan23]

What about the voltage?

 

[cowdood]

I haven't changed that yet, but I will. I'm just making sure that is the only thing I need to do in the BIOS

 

[rohan23]

Give it a try. You're not going to get much, if any performances increases from 800 to 1066 unless you're overclocking.

overclocking CPU? I plan on doing that eventually, and also my gpu.
