Ipawnfaces Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Well I recently made my 1st custom rig about 2 weeks ago, everything is running smoothly but I noticed the 1st time it booted up and every time it boots up it says my ram is running at 1066Mhz. I have been in the BIOS but to be completely honest, I know that if I mess with the BIOS I can void my warranties and could also harm my system so I was wondering how do I fix the correct speeds without voiding my warranties or causing harm to my system. PS: I'm running the i7 now after 7 years of running the P4 so this is a big giant leap so I was/am psyche, but when my friend said that 1066 -> 1600 makes a huge difference in performance I felt left out so i'm here trying to fix this problem before I try my luck at ocin my cpu to 3.0 Ghz+. If it helps I noted this down when I accessed the BIOS. DIMM - 1.500V Target Memory Frequency 1067Mhz Memory Frequency: Auto I did see that I can change it from auto and make it 1600Mhz/2:10 But not sure if that can affect my system. Any tips/help?

Ipawnfaces Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Thanks, that fixed it, but I noticed my DRAM voltage jumped higher then 1.65v, it's currently around 1.68-1.69, is that ok? I really don't know much about voltages but I did read enough to know that high V = bad. Took a SS if it helps. http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/6149/monitoring.th.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Check the BIOS for the voltage. Don't trust the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
