Bios settings

[wdogg]

Hello,

 

I have a DFI NF4 Ultra D mobo and am using OCZ DDR 400 Dual channel memory... I have a question about the memory configurations in the bios. This memory has a CAS Lat of 2 and a timing of 2325 with the volt at 2.6. Should I manually set these in the bios or just go with the auto. If I need to manually set these could you tell me what to set. I am not trying to Overclock, I just want it setup at what its supposed to be at. Below is a link to the ram just in case.

Hello,

 

Take another look at the memory you have and the link you have linked to.

 

Platinum REV2 2-2-2-5 does not come in 2x1GB.

This is the memory... Memory

I know , just wanted to see if you spotted your mistake.

 

Anyway, the timings of 2-3-2-5 should be automatically detect by the bios.

 

If not just go to

Or ask AndyOCZ or RyderOCZ for some settings.

Thanks for the help... I am new to this so, do you think I should go through my bios and set up with the specs you have given? I just want it set at what it should be at. Thanks again!

Why not just download CPU-z and run it? It'll tell you what you memory is running at so you won't have to change it if you don't need to.
