thejake2020 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Dell XPS 730 Memory settings via Bios and overclocking -Need Help! 08 Aug 2009 05:46PM I recently purchased a memory upgrade for my Dell XPS 730. The memory modules are from Corsair,Manf. part# TW3X4G1600C9DHX G or Dell Part # A1640633, and I have 4 of them to give me 8 gigs of memory. I am using Vista 32 bit and I know the 4 gig limitation but I bought them because I'm going up to Windows 7 64-bit soon and also for future proofing if I plan on upgrading my motherboard in the near future. Currently, the actual memory speed is only 1066.7. The chips can go up to 1600. I am buying a fan for the memory modules and I need help in setting up the bios (ver 1.06) so I get can the best bang for my buck on these sticks. I have a Core 2 Extreme CPU X9650 and I do not want to overclock it, just the memory. If I can get it to 1333 and it is stable that would be great! Below are my specs: Memory chips: XMS3-1600 2048 MB ea - 4 total 9-9-9-24 1.80 V Ver. 1.2 09290976 Bios: Advanced - Overclock Config - FSB Memory Clock Mode Auto FSB (QDR) Mhz Auto Actual (QDR) Mhz 1333.3 Mem (DDR), Mhz Auto Actual Mem (DDR), Mhz 1066.7 Advanced - Overclock Config -Memory Timing Setting Memory Timing Setting Optimal x tcL (Cas Latency) - Setting Auto (0) - Current Value 17 x tRCD - Setting Auto (10) - Current Vaule 7 x tRP - Setting Auto (4) - Current Value 7 x tRAS - Setting Auto (7) - Current Value 20 x Command Per Clock (CMD) - Setting (7T) - Current Value 6T Advanced Memory Settings - x tRRD - Setting Auto (7) - Current Value 4 x tRC - Setting Auto (20) - Current Value 27 x tWR - Setting Auto (0) - Current Value 10 x tWTR - Setting Auto (59) Current Value 0 x tFAW -Setting Auto (8) - Current Value 0 x tREF Setting Auto Current Value 7.7uS Advanced - Overvoltage Configuration Memory - Setting Auto - Current Value 1.500V Any help is greatly appreciated.

zooyorq Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I've got the recommend / gaurunteed compatible Corsair ram. 8gb total. Tried 9-9-9-24, 1.5v, etc.. Very unstable.. Completely unstable with all 8gb installed, very unstable at 6gb, semi-unstable at 4gb.. meaning I can use the computer maybe 2 hrs before it craps the bed. I'm not sure what the deal is, but its very frustrating. I'm also running BIOS 1.06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
