tswa Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I got the 6 gb mem set from corsair to increase memory and speed up my machine that was running 3.8ghz before installing and setting the mem clocks, in the xms profile I am unable to achieve a stable overclock on my cpu. before all I had to do was set the bios profile to manual, leave everything the way it was and set the base clock to 190. now I am unable to overclock my cpu. and I am unable to set the memory clocks right in manual bios profile where the cpu oc's nicely. I have run 3.8 rock solid since feb 14th. old memory was Buffalo select D3U1333 S1GBJ, 3x1gb 1333mhz cl9 ddr3 with no oc. system details are in my profile. more bios information can be provided as needed.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 18, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 18, 2009 Will the system run stable with just XMP enabled and not over clocking the CPU? If so then I am sorry there is not much I can do, other than suggest doing a bit of research on some of the over clocking sites to see how others have over clocked and what they set the memory to.

tswa Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 I booted in XMP fine, then over clocked to 3.8 stable, but cpu-z tells me the memory is at 760 mhz. These are identical setting to mine except bclk is at 190 http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/11/overclocking-intel-core-i7-920/ab2-8.jpg http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/11/overclocking-intel-core-i7-920/ab5-8.jpg http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/11/overclocking-intel-core-i7-920/ab6-8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 21, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 21, 2009 That is not uncommon when over clocking the Memory Ratio will be a divider off of the CPU Ratio and Frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tswa Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 That is not uncommon when over clocking the Memory Ratio will be a divider off of the CPU Ratio and Frequency. So that means that the memory is running at or near 1600 but cpu-z only sees it as 760? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 760x2=1520. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
