cant overclock my corsair vengence @ 1600 mhz

[Anurag dcb]

i cant overclock my ram to 1600 mhz
i have made a ticket on corsair contact us website but i didnt get any reply for 2 days.

i have searched all of the internet for overclocking ram on my mother board but nothing comes up.

my current setting for my ram is 800mhz which is way too low

and my motherboard bios does not have a tab that says "AI tweaker" and i cant find anything stating "XMP"

Look for a setting called DOCP or EOCP those are the AMD equivilent of XMP , it's AMDs versions of Overclocking profiles for DRAM

Look for a setting called DOCP or EOCP those are the AMD equivilent of XMP , it's AMDs versions of Overclocking profiles for DRAM

i have tried to find DOCP and EOCP for 45 minutes now and couldnt find anything stating that and opened every drop down list there is
(however i found something call ecc configuration which doesnt help me out)

i'll put a of my bios in this thread if it helps

there is a drop down list that says dram frequency and when i drop it down it says 1333, 1600, 1866 but when i select 1600 and boot the system up it doesn't do anything and the numbers are the same in cpuz

P.S i have changed memory timing from auto to 9-9-9-24 (which is standard for CS vengeance) but still has no effect

and also i left cpu configuration to auto and if i change it o manual it give me 2 drop down lists and the second drop down list is CPU/HT frequency or something like that, do i need to change that ?

thank you for your time

The 800 MHz reading that you are seeing is the memory bus speed. The memory is DDR (DOUBLE Data Rate) which means that your memory is operating at 2 X 800 or 1,600 MHz. If you want to go higher you'll have to select 1,866 from the drop down list.

If you're happy with 1600 MHz, then you should be all set because that is what you now have.

Everything is fine. That is just how it looks for 1600 MHz. You have nothing to worry about.

Yogi

EDIT: You might want to go to the Asus website and download and install the AI Suite software. That may give you a clearer picture of your RAM speed than CPUZ.
