Wired Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 CPU-Z doesn't read the voltage at all. IGNORE the SPD tab. Also, TW3X2G1600C9D isn't a valid part number for a single stick of memory. The actual part # for a single stick of the memory in your 2 packs of TW3X4G1600C9DHX is CM3X2G1600C9DHX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Your memory's currently running at 1605.4 MHz. There is no such thing as Dual / Triple Channel memory, as this is a property of the memory controller in how it handles memory. This is why you can place memory in different slot configurations on a motherboard and it will register as single or dual or triple channel. Having said that, memory packs intended for a triple channel system have 3 or 6 sticks, not 2 or 4 sticks. AMD doesn't even have a triple channel setup as of yet (I think).

Synthohol Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 also your RAM is CAS9 but you are running at CAS11. you might try putting in all the correct timings in the BIOS for best performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 He's running 4 sticks though. May not be able to hit CAS 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 ooh, good point. if he is running at 1605.4 thats well worth sacrificing some latency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 18, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 18, 2009 With 4 modules I would suggest running the memory frequency at DDR1333. But if the system is stable you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
