xfactor2 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have been away from building systems for several years and need some help. I plan on building the following system: Asus P5K Motherboard Intel E6750 CPU (1333 FSB) 2 GB DDR2 1066 Memory Windows Vista 32-bit The Asus QVL lists the Corsair CM2X1024-8500 module as being approved for this motherboard, for configurations as large as 4GB. However, on the Corsair web site I cannot find a module with this exact name. The closest I can find is the CM2X1024-8500C5D, which according to the Corsair datasheet needs to be run at a memory voltage of 2.2V. Is CM2X1024-8500C5D the DDR2-1066 memory I should be using on this motherboard? If so, I assume that upon initial boot-up the system will run this memory at 800 MHz/1.8V (since the SPD is programmed for 800 MHz), and I'll have to go into BIOS setup and enter a memory frequency of 1066 MHz and memory voltage of 2.2V, correct? Will I also have to enter the specific latency timings? Sorry for the really basic questions, I've been away from this stuff for awhile. Thanks!

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 31, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 31, 2007 Yes those will run great on that system with a 1333 FSB CPU and what I would suggest. Please see the Performance Reports on these modules and other like modules to get an idea of the MB's and what we did to run them at the tested settings.
