CPU/Mobo settings with ddr3 ram. what do i need to change?

[devilhanzou]

Okay I just recently purchased 2x4gig DDR3-1600mhz G.Skill Ripjaw modules
In the machine was G.Skill 2x2gig DDR3-1600mhz (timing,voltage,mhz all same)
So I just went ahead and left them in even though they do not have nice heatshrinks like my new ones I figured I would try. Here is a link to them:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231193 ----OLD RAM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231314 -----NEW RAM

The other two important parts are:
Mobo: Asus M4A78T-E
CPU: Phenom II X4 945 DENEB 95w

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131366 -MB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103809 -CPU

Okay I have the Ram set to 1600mhz in Bios CPU-Z has 800mhz for first two slots were the new ram is so that is correct, and the two slots with old ram it has 667mhz listed. So I think that is my first problem and might just have to take those sticks out. Also even though there timing is supposed to be 9-9-9-24 it seems like the timings are diffrent on the sticks, maybe I am wrong. Below I have posted the read outs with timings from cpu-z for you guys to look at. The other big question is what should I really have it set at with the Mobo/Cpu combonation I provided above. Is 1600mhz okay? I am overclocked on the cpu right around 3.2ghz right now. After I figure out were to have the ram set, I am going to try pushing my CPU up to 3.2 or 3.4ghz that is the next step. But one thing at a time. Let me know if you guys need anymore info, and thanks in advance

Go into the BIOS and manually set things. Timings, voltages, and speed. XMP may be screwing things up with the different memory. Not sure though.

 

[devilhanzou]

So the timings are diffrent there are so many timings there was not 100 percent sure. Okay I will do that, but what about the motherboard and cpu will it be okay with 1600mhz

Yes, it will work with both the board and CPU.
