underclocked Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 ok i got my settings for these lil bundles of lies @ 5-5-5-15,2t @2.0volts. the memory runs alot better and games are smoother but on the boot-up screen the crap still says 800MHz. wth is with this brand??? i went on kingstons sight and it recommends it run @ 2.2-2.3. the problem is that its already in the red zone a full 1.25volts. shall i change it to 2.3 and see what happens???? it should be ok cause of dual bios right? any suggestions from people with extensive overclocking knowledge would be deeply appeciated! thanks all!

sack_patrol Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 If your question is why it says 800Mhz, that's probably because 800x2=1600Mhz. Timings won't change the mhz of the ram. It's a while different thing. Get CPU-Z and check out what it says. It will probably clear things out for u. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
underclocked Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 well 2x800 is kool and all but i have 4 sticks of ram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dling Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 well 2x800 is kool and all but i have 4 sticks of ram I think what he means is ddr is data doubler rate ,twice the posted frequency. 800mhz x 2 = 1600mhz :thumbs-up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

underclocked Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Overclocking you memory won't get you many speed increases. ok well dont know if it matters but "stock" settings for my memory was 6-6-6-18,t3 @ 1.8volts and now its 5-5-5-15,t2 @ 2.0 soon to be 2.3volts. my mobo is capable of ddr 1600. but dont know how to do it unless with those settings i already acheived it. i overclocked the voltage into the red zone quiet a bit. being that i have dual bios my computer wont let me roast parts i overclock so ima keep uping stuff till it stops working then back it down... anyone know what a good voltage number would be to stop at. 2.3???? thats what crapston...i mean kingston recomends Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baulten Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 You've got an AMD setup? Don't pass 2.0. 2.1V can cause memory controller damage, and 2.3 is just insane. I'd say set it to 1.9V and pop it to 800 mhz (4:1 ratio). Then tweak the timings to whatever is stable. This will give you 1600 mhz.

This will give you 1600 mhz. so stay @ 2.0? what would be my next step then? + my mobo is only rated to get 1200MHz... like i said im already redzoned as far as voltage so i just need timings plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
