how to setup xms3 DDR3 2000mhz on gene 3?

[shirazgaff]

Hi i have asus rampage gene 3

 

core i7 960

 

6gb xm3 ddr3 2000mhz?

 

 

 

can somebody plz tell me exactly what i need to change in the ausu bios for the ram to work at that speed instead off 1066mhz, which is the current speed

 

Please tell me exactly what to change

 

Thanks

You probably won't be able to run 2000 Mhz with your setup, but 1600 Mhz is very feasible. You can try the XMP profile on that board I believe.

why not?

 

 

what do i require to run at that speed

 

 

the memory is rated to run at 2000mhz

You'd need to significantly overclock your system to allow the memory to run at its rated speed.

ok i understand

 

please tell me what i need to do to make it run at a good speed without significantly oveclocking

 

xmp did not seem to wok

Please clarify what you mean when you say XMP didn't seem to work?

[Synbios]

Sometimes XMP will prevent the computer from booting or make it unstable. You can just set the DDR3 speed to 1600 Mhz or something close to that manually. The DDR3 speeds are products of a multiplier and your bus so depending on what thats set to you will have different choices of DDR3 speed without adjusting your bus as well.

my pc did not boot with xmp

 

 

does somebody know what i need to change in my (bios gene 3)

 

so that my memory work at 1600

and also what should the timings be at 1600mhz?

 

 

please tell me exactly what to change

No idea since you've yet to tell us what part number you have. You can find the part number on the memory label: How To Read the Memory Label

Ok what I would do to try get 2000 is.

First I try the basics, load system optimized defaults, set cpu clock ratio 24x, set Vcore too 1.30000, set the Dram volts 1.66, set your system memory multiplier to 14(1866), set Pcie Freq 100mhz, and last of all set you ram timeing's for 2000 speed. Normaly on the sticker of the ram stick, everything else leave on auto.

 

If this works to get more you will have to overclock the cpu by increasing the Bclk. I think its Bclk 143 or you can try system memory multiplier x16(yet my system would hang).

 

The system memory multiplier you want lower the the better, by increaseing the Bclk but you will not beable to get at the best as you cant overclock the cpu that much :p

 

Not sure if all the setting names in the bios would be the same name too.

 

Well good luck let me know how you get on.

 

p.s if you do OC you will need extra cooling.
