borley1863 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 As the title says i have set my memory to 1600mhz in my ASUS bios as it was auto recogniseing it as 1333mhz. When i boot all is fine and says it is 1600mhz before it loads windows. When i go onto the bios and look at the ASUS SPD info option it says 1333mhz! is that normal? I have XMP chosen.

peanutz94 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Can you post a pic of the memory tab in CPU-z? That will tell us exactly if they are at 1600 or 1333mmhz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borley1863 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 I cant at the moment unless theres a quick option without using a url? I will give you some of the info from CPU-z The memory tab: frequency 800mhz which is dual so thats right 1600mhz but SPD tab:max bandwidth:pc3-10700h (667 mhz) Isnt that 1333mhz? any more info from any field i will supply if needed.

peanutz94 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 SPD tab doesn't matter. That is just the different tables that are programed into that module. As long as the frequency is at 800mhz then you are right it's at 1600mhz. You should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borley1863 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Thanks peanutz, so that does't matter either that in my bios on the SPD info it says 1333mhz? I apreciate your help. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Where does it say in your BIOS that they are 13333?. They cant be if CPU-z is reporting 1600mhz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 8, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 8, 2011 In Windows run CPU-Z and post a screen shot of the Memory Tab that will tell us what the memory us actually running at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Section 3.4 of your manual has a pic of your BIOS. At the top where it says memory frequency , that should be 1600 mhmz. Is that where it is telling you they are 1333? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borley1863 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hi again,yeah the page you say its page 3.5 in my manual but yes on that page it says 1600mhz, but if you look onpage 3.28 theres a section about the tools options well it doesn't show on there i think mine may be newer bios, but anyway it has an option called ASUS SPD information below the ASUS EZ Flash Utility option, and under that it says maximum bandwidth 1333mhz, basicaly the same as CPU-z which you said didn't matter so i take it these are the same results CPU-z displays. thanks Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 8, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 8, 2011 If you are looking under the SPD tab in CPU-Z then that is correct the SPD is set to DDR1333 at JEDEC default so it can post on any system look under the memory tab it will show what it is running at.

peanutz94 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hi again,yeah the page you say its page 3.5 in my manual but yes on that page it says 1600mhz, Then you are good to go! As long as that line is reading 1600mhz then that is the actual frequency. but if you look onpage 3.28 theres a section about the tools options well it doesn't show on there i think mine may be newer bios, but anyway it has an option called ASUS SPD information below the ASUS EZ Flash Utility option, and under that it says maximum bandwidth 1333mhz, Without actually looking at it it's hard to tell. But from what i can gather that is just reporting the max "supported" frequency. Which would be 1333mhz . That is what your CPU will officially support.
