MSI z97 gaming 5 voltage

[Rp64]

On the BIOS voltage is greyed out and cannot be clicked. I'm trying to increase the voltage to the 2x4 RAM

Do you have DRAM settings set to manual or are they on Auto, set to manual or if the DRAM is 1600 or better enable XMP

Thank you for your answer. I don't see a setting to change the DRAM to manual....as you can tell I'm fairly new to playing with settings, i apologize, where would I find that ?

 

[Tradesman1]

Be in the advanced system settings with the other DRAM controls

Ok yeah I found it and DRAM isnt grayed out anymore. But It dosnt have the [] around it indicating I could change it. I tried clicking anyways just to try and nothing. I have XMP on also. And since I turned that on I cant keep my computer running for more than about an hour before it freezes and seems like the motherboard since the LED table that displays the temp or an error is stuck at 00

Can it be adjusted with the + or - keys

 

[Rp64]

Ok That did change it. But now it wont boot and the LED table is completely off and nothing is booting or lighting up anymore. It seems to go really bright and then dies out.

What is the model of the DRAM?

 

[Rp64]

You mean like Corsair Vengeance LP? 4GB x 2

 

[Tradesman1]

Like the model # of the DRAM itself, there are a number of Low Profile Vengeance models

Now I can get everything inside to light up but it wont boot to the BIOS because I only raised to voltage one increment so I wouldnt fry them both, but that isnt enough to distribute to both to boot it.

 

[Rp64]

there are a few numbers on the back and I am not that experienced. How long should the number be that I am looking for

 

[Tradesman1]

Should be similar to this - CML8GX3M2A1600C9

 

[Rp64]

CML8GX3M2A16009B

 

[Rp64]

The DRAM's Model number is CML8GX3M2A16009B just to make that clear

 

[Tradesman1]

Try the DRAM voltage at 1.55
