I am running the following home built system from about 2008-2009:
ASUS P5E3 PRO MB
8GB 1066 Ram
LGA775 @ 3.33Ghz
ATI XFX 4870 Video card
Creative FX sound card
I finally got this thing back up and running after finding a virus and now I want to upgrade the RAM.
My problem is, my BIOS shows that it will auto detect all of the following speeds 1800 OC/ 1600 OC/ 1333/ 1066/ 800, but for some reason it will not detect the new 240 pin 1600 DDR3/ non-ECC/udimm. Do I have to set the bios to recognize the 1600 while the 1066 is in instead of auto detect for it to work?
This part of over clocking is new to me and I want to make sure everything is done right. I have been out of the lime light working on this system and keeping it updated and wanting to learn how to overclock it when I first built it.
