I just got a new computer built and i noticed that the ram i bought is running at 533mhz (1066 effective).
The ram is Patriot 2 x 2GB PC3 12800 1600MHZ, PVV34G1600LLK
If anything, i was expecting the memory to at least run at 1333 not 1600. Can i change this by just chaging the DRAM frequency in the bios from auto to 800MHZ or do i need to lock down all the timings and voltages manually first and then change the frequency? Is there an XMP mode i can enable in the BIOS?
Is there any chance that 533MHZ at T1 is more efficient than 800MHZ at T2? I've kind of learned that memory can be somewhat sensitive so i'm being more cautious than normal about making changes.
Help appreciated.
Oh on a side note, i read the forum FAQs in the memory section and noticed that DDR3 wasn't included in the descriptions. May be worth doing some updating.
Cheers
