the thing is my memory is only runing at 1332mhz not the 1600-1777 it says it can do on the tin.... so i believe i need to overclock, so im after some help.. WITH PICS WOULD BE GOOD lol.. i managed to sort the voltage problem out but like i said im a complete newb.. any help would be much appreciated.. MANY THANKS dave

First, :welcome: to the forums. Glad to have you join us!

To be able to set your memory to its proper settings, you need to unlink the memory. See page 55 of your manual. That should get you started and allow you to change the memory settings.

Once the memory is set in this manner you can overclock the CPU without further worry about the memory (its settings won't change). :beer:
