Hey all,

I just bought a Gigabyte EP45-UD3LR motherboard and this 4GB DDR2-800 (PC-6400) memory from here:

http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0264254

Now, if I query that memory part number at the ocz website, i get two different results for timing - one at 5-5-5-18 and one at 5-5-5-15. I can't tell which it is supposed to be. At least both seem to be at 1.8v.

5-5-5-18 here:

5-5-5-15 here:

http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_6400_vista_performance_gold_edition

So, I took a guess and, in the bios, I set the timing to 5-5-5-18 at 1.8v. Everything seems to work fine. Below is a screen shot of some stats.

Can anyone one tell which memory I actually have, ansd what speed it's supposed to be at?

Also, My CPU was only working at 1.7Ghz in the bios, so I changed the multiplier to 12, and that brought it up to 2.5Ghz - the processor is a Pentium E5200.

I am not looking to overclock at this point - I just want to make sure it's running at its native specs so it's optimized....I'm running Vista x64 Home Premium.

I hope this is enough info....

Thanks in advance,

Matt!
 
It tend to lean towards 5-5-5-15. I'd probably kick the RAM voltage up to 2.0-2.1V to make sure you aren't unstable with it though. I honestly think that it won't make a whole big of a difference, but you should be safe at 15.
