Need help with Corsair XMS2 5400UL
I've asked this question in a few different forums and have not gotten any replies. Hopefully someone here might be able to offer a little assistance. I upgraded to the above mentioned ram about a week ago, and I can't seem to get it to run at it's rated speed of 675mhz. The highest I've been able to obtain thus far is 460. I tried to manually set the freq to 600 and it actually lowers it. Currently I have Overclock Profile of 5% on and that is the only way I've been able to actually up the freq. My voltage is at 1.9 (actually when I open AI NOS to check this it still says it's 1.8v, how accurate is that utility? if the bios says it's at 1.9 that is where it should be correct?) I know I can bump the volts up, but it didn't make any difference for now so I turned it back down. It's very stable at 3-2-2-8, and I'm not even going to mess with those until I can get the freq up higher. Is it possible that I need to OC the processor more? I know 3.0 isn't blazin nowadays, right now it's running at 3157mhz. My temps are fine and I can up this more if needed, I just wanted to see what kind of ideas anyone can offer. Plus I'll be water cooling very very soon.. Thanks for any help offered..
