potatochobit Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 when you changed the timings in your bios for your memory did you also set it to manual timing x5.66 (or whatever) and increase the voltage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sihastru Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Not a good idea to leave voltages on AUTO when you're oveclocking, the BIOS usually overvolts components like crazy. If your RAM is rated at 1066 then read the label, it should state the timings and the voltages for that speed. If it does not, then see the Kingston site, you need 2.0V and CL7 to run this memory. So you need to go into BIOS and manually set timings to 7-7-7-20 and the voltage to 2.0V. CL6 is "better" then CL7, you might want to try 2.1V or more for CL6, but I wouldn't go over 2.1.
