Asus M5A99X EVO

[diver0129]

So I had some issues setting this motherboard up. I'm not very knowledgeable with cpu/memory settings. In the past my motherboards tended to auto detect everything properly. This time, the memory didn't look correct. So I played with it a bit and finally got it to auto set what looked correct to me. Now I don't seem to be having any issues, but I'm concerned that I don't have it set up optimally. Here is a screen shot of what I'm seeing with CPU-Z. Maybe some of you can give me some suggestions.

Btw, my RAM is "Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9 Vengeance 8GB PC15000 DDR3 RAM - 1866MHz, 2x4096MB, Non-ECC, Unbuffered"

*Update*
Hmmm... There's been a few views now and no responses. Maybe everything looks alright. I was mostly concerned with the bus speed shown.

Your running at 1872 (CPU-Z shows true freq so it's freq times 2 for effective, timings are off though, want them at 9-10-9-27, if any problems with them , raise DRAM voltage to 1.55 and should be good

I have the M5A99X Evo with the FX-8350 and 1866 memory on stock settings - your bus speed, ht link, and dram frequency match my settings. You may have picked the memory XMP setting in bios which gives you 1T but higher latency. You can choose the other
XMP setting which will give you the advertised latencies at 2T or manually set your timings in bios.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time finding my way around with all the setting available on this board. I'm sure it's great for someone who is more knowledgeable, but I'm finding it pretty daunting.

I became more knowledgeable through trial and error. With the BIOS, if you mess up you can just load optimized results and start over (be careful with voltages though), plus the board won't accept changes which are totally incorrect - "The overclock has failed". Here is how I set up my memory. Go to advanced settings, then to AI Tweaker. I have my Ai Overclock Tuner set up to D.O.C.P. My OC Tuner is set to cancel (I don't want to auto overclock my CPU at this time). Memory frequency is set to DDR3-1866 Mhz. You want to go to DRAM O.C. Profile and pick either Profile #0 or Profile #1. I have GSkill memory but I'm assuming that all manufacturers use similar settings. One profile should give you 1T timing but higher latency, the other should give you 2T timing and the 9-10-9-27 latencies. Give it a try - you won't break anything.

Profile 1 should be the default profile, profile 2 is normally the slightly tighter settings for enthusiasts

I've searched far and wide for a person kind enough to explain how to do this the way you did. Hours later, here I am. I wanna bake you a cake lol! Thanks man
