Recently bought 16gb gskill 2133(oc) and installed on asus crosshair formula V changed the speed to 2133 under tweak menu in bios... SIW is still showing memory at 800mhz... ne ideas ?
16gb ddr3 2133(oc)... where else would i check other than my bios ? windows finds the 16gb but i do not think im running at full capacity
actually dlin cpuz now
cpuz is saying my dram frequency is fluctuating betwen: 1000 - 1175 mhz
FSB DRAM: 3:16
CAS# Latency : 9.0 clocks
RAS# to CAS# Dealy 11clocks
RAS# Precharge 11clocks
Cycle Time 28clocks
Bank Cycle Time 45clocks
cpuz reading : changed nb freq to 2200mhz itrs fluctuating slightly
my dram is now almost solid 800 then every once n awhile +/- 30
siw reading: 800mhz ddr3 1600
nothing like buying ram rated @ 2133 and getting half my moneys worth... wtf
its probbly sumthing im overlooking as usuall... but i feel ive searched thoroughly
i also tried dling a few updates for my mobo...
would a bios update make a diff ?
It might, I suppose. It's up to you to decide whether or not the risk of updating the BIOS is worth it or not, though (since if something goes wrong, it'll leave you with a bricked board).
