Hey guys, this is my first post! so please pardon me if I forget to put all the information in this post. Here is the link for the CPU-Z. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=777864

My problems are;

1. My Ram suppose to run at 1600mhz but cpu-z claims that I am at RAM Speed : 665.5 MHz (2:10) @ 4-9-9-24

2. Processor runs at Freq : 3194.17 MHz (133.09 * 24) but supposed to be 2.6. What is the highest I can go with the stock fan? Could you please include the specs I need to set my Mobo at? Thanks!

3. I did not touch any bios settings and I would really love to. Is there like a template that I can follow to set the necessary numbers?

Thank you all for reading this thread. Any help is appreciated.

Once again guys, I am using a stock fan. So please give me the numbers accordingly. But if you can recommend a cheap fan thatd be awesome too!!!

Change the DRAM Frequency from AUTO to DDR3-1600MHz (Multiplier = 12; 133MHz x 12 = 1600MHz), and manually set the 4 primary RAM timings to 9-9-9-24

2. Processor runs at Freq : 3194.17 MHz (133.09 * 24) but supposed to be 2.6.

The increase in clock speed is due to Intel Turbo Boost Technology...
The Intel Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the processor’s frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom when operating below specified limits, allowing the Intel Core i5 750 Processor to attain single-core performance up to 3.20 GHz. Get more performance automatically, when you need it the most.

Hey.. thanks for your input. Bios see the ram as 1333Mhz it doesnt show 1600Mhz... Do you happen to know why might this be? Thanks
 
On cpu-z it shows PC3-10700H even though my RAM is Corsair PC12800 RAM - 4GB, DDR3, 1600MHz... I am confused now!

Update

On cpu-z it shows PC3-10700H even though my RAM is Corsair PC12800 RAM - 4GB, DDR3, 1600MHz... I am confused now!

Update 2: So I disabled the turbo boost, lowered the CPU multiplier and increased the FSB. Ram voltage is at 1.65 and the cpu is set to Auto or Default. Heres the CPUz image. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=778104

Oh and is this normal or Do I have to return this ram? it says 10700 still instead of pc12800

At the time you took the CPU-Z pic., your RAM was running at 1661MHz (830.5MHz x 2) using a 2:10 FSB : DRAM ratio. At the current CPU frequency of 166MHz, using the current 2:10 FSB : DRAM ratio results in an effective DRAM frequency of 1660MHz.

So is it safe to keep the specs as it is? And how about the temps. When I ran the wprime 1024mb test it went up high as 85 C. The idle stays at 30-35. Is this normal or do I need a new cpu fan?
 
Is it safe to run 1600 at 1660? Probably yes. I'd run something like Prime 95 in Blend mode for 24 hours at some point and if it came back no errors then yes.

As per 85 degrees, that's pretty insane on a 45nm chip.
I somewhat doubt it's accurate.

What are you using to read the temp?

Who installed the heatsink? Was it you? Are you sure you did it properly?

First of all thanks for your reply. I use core temp and real temp to measure it. I dont know what it why it went up to 85. because it idles at 28-32 and then when I run programs highest it goes is 45. And yup the cpu and the fan installed properly!

I was looking for a cpu fan but could not find a cheap decent fan...
 
Oh man this is insane... Have a look at this!

I dont get it, during the test, it drops to 70s then go back to 95 :S as soon as I stopped It went down to 40

I am going to be returning the MOBO back and I will nvr purchase an intel mobo again. Such crappy design. I will keep you guys updated! I got my notch heat sink coming soon!
 
Oh and btw, Core i5 only supports 1333mhz in terms of ram. Hence, even if you buy 1600mhz or above it will read as 1333. Ah well, you can always overclock the son of u know what!
 
Acctually this board is the only P55 chipset that supports 1066 and 1333 mhz. All the other P55 chipsets support 1600mhz min. also it says in the mobo addendum that the voltage shouldnt go higher than 1.6 volts. Im Just saying xD

also i think this board is well worth 100 dollars.

anyways what was the highest stable voltage setting you got with the stock cpu cooler?
