Mr Spot Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I was wondering if anyone could give me some guidance of what to set in the BIOS to get my RAM running in triple channel @ 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24 as its rated? Currently the entire BIOS is set to the defaults. NOTE, I am a novice to editing the BIOS outside of the standard things such as setting boot priorties etc. So please be kind... Thanks in advance for assistance! NOTE I am running a CPU Cooler setup as follows: Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme (blister package) with Noctua NF-S12B-FLX 120mm Fan.

That sounds simple enough!! Thanks. Was a bit confused about all these people having troubles and needing to change voltages, multipliers and QPI's etc... I'll give it a go!

Mr Spot Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 It all seems to be working okay. Got some weird black screens when trying to install windows 7 x64 as well as if I tried to install vista x64... It would just get half way though installation and hit a black screen and stop. So wasn't sure if the RAM was the cause so chose to reset to defaults whilst i installed the OS. Then reenabled, I ran 3D mark vantage successfully and a few CAD applications and it all seemed to be quite stable. I noticed in 3D mark system analysis it only detected the RAM modules as 400MHz? Is this anything to be worried about? Or is this just the software not reading the system properly? PS. Wasn't that impressed by the 3D Mark score, I thought it would have been better... :( Was only 15000 or so. Seems like the video card was letting the system down.

But it may be the way the program is reading and nothing to worry about. PS. Wasn't that impressed by the 3D Mark score, I thought it would have been better... :( Was only 15000 or so.

You can play with the QPI Voltage a little and see if it helps but if you have a newer stepping CPU (D0) you will not want more than about 1.4 Volts on the QPI Voltage.
