lordgortex Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I have got 2 x 2gb corsair xms 6400 memory 1.9v but my gigabyte m720-us3 motherboard supports 1.8v memory , can anybody tell me how to overclock the memory channel so I can get it working as I am not an overclocker :(: , I am not a total Virgin as i have built this system but Overclocking is still a bit of a dark art to me :laughing: , thanx for any help you can offer:D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 13, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 13, 2009 At the main BIOS screen hit the CNTRL + F1 key to un-hide the menus and then you should be able to adjust the memory Voltage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordgortex Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Thanx for the advice , Gave the CTRL F1 a go , set to auto and the memory voltage came down to 1.856v , so tried ninus 2-4 % and still at 1.856 ,tried plus 2-4 % and no change , It has to be said I am sure if i am supposed to be going plus or minus so I didnt go any further , its pretty scary when you dont know what your doing:eek: , if you can give me any more advice I would be grateful :sunglasse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 13, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 13, 2009 I would suggest asking the MB maker to help you set the memory Voltage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordgortex Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Got them from Aria so will RMA there , but can you tell me if my motherboard will run 4gb of this memory as it is not listed as supported on the Gigabyte web site , Its running the good 2gb stick fine , but I cant just assume that 4 gb will ,I just want an easy life :biggrin: Oh yeah , Aria and Corsair say this is 1.9v Memory but its got 1.8v ver 4.1 written on the stick who is right ? Just checked your Memory Configurator and my motherboard isnt listed , does this matter? Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Different versions of the memory have different voltage requirements (either 1.8v or 1.9v). Go with whatever the label says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 19, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 19, 2009 And running two set I would suggest setting the memory Voltage to 2.0 Volts and the next lower speed grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
