cwbills Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Newb to detailed BIOS settings, but I am building with the above setup and I am going to use Windows 7 (64-bit) for the OS. I'd like to get the i7-920 up to around 3.8 GHz and I'd like to try to get the RAM up to 1600 MHz (Voltage b/w 1.6 and 1.7V). Any specific BIOS settings to follow?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 21, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 21, 2009 I doubt they will reach much above the rated speed but you are welcome to try what ever you like. However, I am sorry but I am only allowed to provide the tested settings for the modules anything above or bellow that would be up to you and Trail and error.

cwbills Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Do you think messing with the RAM would make any significant difference with my setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 21, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 21, 2009 It may it would be best to test it for your self and see what gives the best over all performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwbills Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 What are the settings to get it to run at 1333MHz? I've read that is auto defaults to a lower frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 24, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 24, 2009 You can get the tested settings from the link in my signature. But the timings should be Cas 9-9-9-24 at 1.7 Volts 2T Command Rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 24, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 24, 2009 Sorry the Voltage will be printed on the modules and for that set it will be 1.5 or 1.6 Volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwbills Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Any improvement/difference if I get the TR3X6G1600C9 set? Found it for the same price at Fry's (as from NewEgg). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 25, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 25, 2009 If you want to run the memory at DDR1600 that would be the set to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 25, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 25, 2009 And I would suggest getting the Bios Optimization Guide at http://www.rojakpot.com it is a great read and explains a lot about all of the BIOS settings not only memory.
