CMP6GX3M3A1600C7 on Asus P6X58D-E m/board

Hi,

I have just bought a 6GB kit of the Corsair Dominator (part #CMP6GX3M3A1600C7) and an Asus P6X58D-E motherboard. The BIOS auto detects that the RAMs are @1066 instead of @1600 CL7-8-7-20.

Please advise how to set the BIOS in order that the RAMs will run @1600 at CL7-8-7-20; and what are the values of other settings in the BIOS?

Thanks in advance.

set the ram voltage according to the sticker (or cpu-z) for the 1600 profile, then enable X.M.P. profile. it may be listed as ASUS OC profile.

good luck.

Thanks. I have activated XMP in BIOS, which immediately detected the CL value of 7-8-7-20. CPU-Z shows the DRAM frequency at 801 MHz with FSB:DRAM ratio at 2:12 running at 7-8-7-20-88 2T. Yet, the Core speed is only 1603 MHz (though i7 930 should run at 2.8 GHz), multiplier is 12, bus spped at 133.h MHz and QPI Link at 3207.2 MHz. :confused: What is wrong?
