Hi!
I just got an old-ish PC, so I can't verify if the previous user did any overclocking or anything. But the point is that I checked the installed RAM modules, found that one is dead, and installed my own. Currently, I have 4GB (2GBx2) installed.
Both sticks are rated for 1333MHz. From what I know, that should mean I should be seeing a frequency of 667MHz, correct?
But I noticed that on my BIOS, the frequency is set to 800MHz (the only options available are 800MHz and 1066MHz). I haven't tried manually changing the timings yet.
On CPU-Z, the Rated FSB for my Pentium E5800 is around 800MHz, with an FSB😀RAM Ratio of 1:2. But when I check the memory DRAM, I see 399.0MHz. On SPD, I get 4 JEDEC profiles, for 457, 533 609 and 685 MHz respectively (with timings).
Is my system bottlenecking? If so, would you recommend that I configure (via BIOS) to use 1066MHz (and use the automatic Timings) instead to get the most of the over-specced ram? If the system can support the 1333MHz, would manually changing the timings on BIOS give me the 1333MHz yield (and if so, which timings should I use?)
Thanks!
