Can't Recognize By Cpu-z?

[logan75]

hi, like i said in top'descrip cpu-z can't recognize my mem, don' know why,

below r some shots of the cpu-z

 

 

my actual memory:

2 x 1 gb pc2-8500(ocz2n10662gk) ocz platinum 5-5-5-15 @2.3 v

2 x 1 gb hp2-8500(996578) mushkin 5-5-5-18 @2.2 - 2.35v

 

everything is in auto in the bios 'cept for the vdimm = 2.20v

 

any advise on timings and voltage will be much appreciated!

thanks,

Are you running all 4 DIMMs at once?

 

If so, does it do this if you run two separate pairs?

yes 4 at once, and im going to check on that if its stay the same or not, never had that in mind though, thanks, post again later for the result,

i removed the pair of mushkin, but it's 'till the same, cpuz sees the ocz pc2-8500 as pc2-5300, and so with the pair of mushkin, nothing change,

I'm more curious as why it says DDR3 on the first screenshot.

 

As long as it's reading the frequency and timings correctly, showing dual channel, I would not really worry about what it's reading as the "max bandwidth". Check your part numbers with OCZ's...verify that the memory will run what it's rated at, and set things explicitly in BIOS. Other than that, there's not much you can do.

yah, its weird,

but if you are going to choose, which pair are you going to use,

i've been thinking to dump the other 2 gigs,

and they say it's hard to oc when you have 4 sticks,

OK, it is not unusual for the correct SPD not to be recognised by the board. For the P5Q series go into the BIOS Ai Tweaker Menu and you can manually set your memory frequency and timings from there.

 

Make sure your modules are both in the Yellow sockets (DIMM_A1 & DIMM_B1) for Dual Channel mode and the yellow sockets are better for overclocking on the P5Q's.

 

The new OCZ PC2-8500 Platinum Series is equipped with NVIDIA Enhanced Performance Profiles (EPP) to optimize the modules performance on nForce

i once didnt believe CPu-z intill i realized i got the wrong dimms from newegg once. check the sticker to make sure! cpu-z is usually right.

[logan75]

ok, no problem then, thanks for the info

What does SPD mean and what are the JEDEC and EPP profiles so much different in regards to MHz and Command rates, timings and voltage?
