How do i set up my new RAM to be running how it was meant to be running?

[Ferrariassassin]

My info of my build is below in my signature. What do i do in my BIOS to set up my ram? What are the things i need to change, do i set it to what my RAM says it is? Do i set the DDR3 to 1600, the Timing to 9-9-9-24, and the Voltage to 1.5V? Or do i just set it to 1600 and do not touch anything else?

Just enable XMP profile and it should be enabled brev. and just go a head 😀

i think if you just enable the XMP at your BIOS that will change the everything automaticlly, or if want to do it manually change the timings and the clock speed

What aout the Voltage? It says they are 1.5 volts on the box they came in. and what is XMP?

What is XMP and what does it do?

The timings and other characteristics of the memory are stored in a tiny chip on the memory stick called a Serial Presence Detect (SPD) using a standard set by Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC). All BIOSes recognise this and adjust timings accordingly. XMP is an eXtended Memory Profile that most (but importantly, not all) BIOSes can recognise. Therefore, one has manually to set the BIOS to access that information even if the BIOS can recognise it. XMP is used for timings that are beyond the standard JEDEC set, ie faster.

the voltage is automaticlly set to 1.5V and XMP is intel xtreme memory profile, this feature allows you to overclock your RAM without any further instructions just enable it

As oajarmeh95 said before me, It's a approved SPD table for your RAM that is programmed into the sticks. By setting XMP you can run the stiocks at their RATED speed and timings even if it requires more vDIMM to do so.
Fer instance.
1333 MHz 9-9-9 @ 1.5v is JEDEC standard
Most kits will do 1600 9-9-9-24 at 1.5V
Just enable it and no need to set any thing like volts or timings or any thing else .

By default, RAM will operate at 1333MHz once installed. In order to get 1600MHz. Start your PC, press F2/Dell or what ever key it prompts to enter into BIOS. You need to enable the XMP settings under Memory options. Once enabled, change the RAM frequency to 1600MHz. Don't change the timings or voltages as they would be taken care by the XMP.

XMP stand for Extreme Memory Profile, developed by Intel to enable the users to change the frequency of the RAM with much ease without hassle of doing the things manually. [To put that way to make it easy to understand]

An XMP, or (Intel-developed) Extreme Memory Profile, is an additional set of values stored in the EEPROM which can be detected by SPD in the BIOS. Most DRAM has space for two additional SPD profiles, sometimes referred to as an ‘enthusiast’ and an ‘extreme’ profile; however most consumer oriented modules may only have one XMP profile. The XMP profile is typically the one advertised on the memory kit – if the capability of the memory deviates in any way from specified JEDEC timings, a manufacturer must use an XMP profile.
