Levzi Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I have just purchased these modules, and they will arrive tomorrow. I know that ASUS boards sometimes struggle with setting RAM up automatically, and thanks to the advice I got here I manually setup the last RAM in the BIOS and it's never failed me. So for my board, what should I enter into the RAM Section so that these modules will work ok ? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 What's the actual part #? What you've listed in the title isn't a part #. Also, what CPU do you have? Your profile is incomplete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levzi Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 DDR2-1066 (XMS2-8500C5*4GB*SLI) Size 4GB Kit (2 x 2GB) Latency 5-5-5-15-2T Format 240-pin DIMM Heat Spreader Black Is that what you mean ? And the CPU is a 2.66Ghz Quad Intel Core 2 Q6700 Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I'm guessing the part # is TWIN2X4096-8500C5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 You said TWIN2X4096-PC8500 C5. PC isn't part of the part #, which is why I asked to be clear. There's also other versions of TWIN2X4096-8500C5, e.g. the Dominator series version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levzi Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Which is TWIN2X4096-PC8500C5DF Dominator. The one I used is the part # as listed on the Corsair site. Sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levzi Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 OK I installed the RAM and obviously entered the 5-5-5-15 timings, with Clock cycles to 2T , voltage is 2.1. System is stable, CPUz reports DRAM Frequency at 533Mhz so I assume thats correct. CPUz also reports SPD Ext : EPP is that the Enhanced Performance Profiles ? For the Mobo I am using, do I need worry about EPP ? And if so, how do I set them ? (Only noticed SLi settings for RAM in the BIOS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
