Gigabyte 970A-D3P memory problem??

[Dmt317]

My bios says that my memory is running at 1334 mhz and I have 1600 mhz ram? What is causing this and how do I fix it. My bios is up to date with the f5 flash.

This is quite common, You can change the speed back up to 1600MHz in bios and it is safe and won't damage your memory module. If you wish to overclcok it back up to speed just put the volts to 1.5V and tweak the speed to 1600MHz. That should work fine and this problem is quite common, after that the speed should be back to 1600MHz.

Okay i tried without tweaking the voltage and the pc wouldnt boot so just bumo the voltage to 1.5?

 

[unknownofprob]

the voltage is always at 1.5V anyways, higher speeds like 2400MHz have a voltage of 1.65V. So you tweaked the speed? It didn't boot because the ram?

What set of DRAM do you have, if it's the rig in your sig, see if the advanced section of the BIOS and look for EOCP or DOCP if there enable it and select 1600, if not manually set freq to 1600, DRAM timings to spec for the set and set DRAM voltage manually to 1.5

I guess the multiplier was like 6.67 and i tweaked it to 8 and it said that would be 1600mhz and saved and exited and then it said failure to boot so i went back in and changed it to 1334 again

 

[unknownofprob]

you'll have to set the Frequency to 1600MHz manually and the volts should already be at 1.5, because 1334 is 1.5V as well. Is it 1333 or 1334? what's the maximum speed that your motherboard supports?

 

[Dmt317]

1334 and it says it supports 1866 or 2000 overclocked

 

[unknownofprob]

ok you should be able to go to 1600MHz then easily, do you know what kind of voltage the board is putting out? is it saying 1.5 or is it below that and unchangeable?

 

[Dmt317]

hang on let me see

 

[Dmt317]

i think it said drr voltage 1.50v

 

[Dmt317]

i looked on their site and didnt even see my memory as supported under the list of compatibler 1600 memory??

Hi there, i had the same problem.

First go to bios,
Then, Advanced Frenquency Settings,
Then look for ''Extreme Memory Profile(X.M.P.)'' and set it to Profile 1.

Then save and exit and it should now be to 1600MHz.

I have the same problem but can not find the'' Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)'' option

In my ga-970th-D3P does not have this option.

What do I do?

Bios is the latest version already.
