GRN Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 So I recently built my computer and everything checks out fine except for the mushkin ram I purchased. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820146785 Also here is my setup: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWi...Number=13378388 I checked on CPUz and it shows the ram as PC2-6400. I bought the ram labeled as PC2-8500. I quickly sent mushkin for some support but am still waiting for a response. I don't know why it is not showing and I'm posting here for some clarification on this issue. I like to receive what I paid for. Is there any settings that I have to configure with my motherboard or any of that sort? Any help is greatly appreciated of course. :thumbs-up: CPUz: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 RAM speeds are determined by your motherboard settings. Default is usually DDR2-800. Overclocking or changing your RAM divider will change your RAM speeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overclocking or changing your RAM divider will change your RAM speeds. So which settings would I touch in the BIOS to configure the setting to the recommended state?

Crazy_Nate Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 From looking at your BIOS screens (here), it looks like the settings are in MB Intelligent Tweaker. You're going to want to modify the system memory multiplier. 2.4*333 = 800, so...for 1066, you'll want something around 3.2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Mushkin sets their SPD's so that the memory will boot every time including after a hosed overclock. This reduces the amount of calls for RMAs. You would need to manually set your memory to 1066MHz Does this look like your BIOShere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
