lusmart Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 HI, MY RAM :TW3X4G1600C9DHX In windows I get Max Bandwidth of PC3-8500F and 7-7-7-20 timings in CPU-Z. Memory Modules version is v9.1 What should I do? Should I send it back to the reseller I bought from? Regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 IGNORE the SPD tab. It only contains static settings. You need to OC / manually set the speed to hit 1600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusmart Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 when I set the speed to hit 1600(200*8),also get Max Bandwidth of PC3-8500F and 7-7-7-20 timings in CPU-Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Your album is not meant for thread pics. Please attach pics directly to the post itself next time. Like I said, IGNORE the SPD tab. Those settings NEVER CHANGE. It is NOT indicative of actual settings. That is what the MEMORY tab is for. Looks like you still need to change the memory timings and presumably the memory voltage, all of which is on the memory label itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't know how to set the BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusmart Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 I also try to overclock it using 1.8V and 9-9-9-24 timing settings ,the cpu-z spd show 1.5v,the problem is the same as before.I am very disappointed with this product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 LUSMART stop looking at the SPD tab! That information WILL NEVER CHANGE. It does NOT REFLECT your BIOS. It's like looking at a poster of the desert when you're in Antartica and assuming it's warm and toasty outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusmart Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 thanks! I have 2 questions: 1.If the cpu-z SPD is wrong ,EVEREST show the same info,why? 2.which soft can test the ram correctly？or we can not distinguish if it is fake.

Wired Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Because if you look at what that screenshot is of, it's... THE SPD INFORMATION. That's why it's highlighted on the left side menu. You keep looking at the SPD information instead of the MEMORY information. STOP. Again, the SPD is static information that never changes and because of this, it does not reflect what the BIOS is set to at any given moment. You can set the BIOS to SPD settings if you so choose, but the SPD settings may not be the rated specs. In your case, they definitely do not, however XMP would be set to the correct settings. Also, as I stated before, please STOP adding pictures meant for posts into your album. They will NOT show up for other posters. Use Memtest86+ v4.00 to test your memory, but are you having any issues with the memory? Why do you think it may be fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Lusmart, we seem to have a problem communicating here. Do you know what SPD is? Wired has answered your questions. Your memory is not fake. Your memory is operating at 1600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
