Hello guys i have a simple quastion, what kind of memory i have???
it is running at 1600mhz now, and the sticker on the module says also 1600mhz.
in aida extreme shows module name also 1600mhz, but if i look at memory speed then it shows 1066mhz

so is it 1600mhz or 1066 mhz
 
That's because you need to set the memory to run 1600MHz in your BIOS.
Your modules are rated for 1600MHz, but they're currently running 1066MHz.
 
Notice in CPUz, it says Frequency 800MHz. That means you're running 1600MHz DDR, so that's correct.
Then your timings are 7-7-7-24, which is correct by Newegg.

I'm assuming the system is stable and that you just wanted to make sure you're running 1600MHz? If so, you're good to go :thup:

yes its stable, and i now that i,m running at 1600mhz, but why is aida showing by memory speed 1066mhz at 1.5v i,m running 1.65
 
AIDA is simply reporting the JEDEC #3/#4 seen in CPUz.

See what the AIDA Memory window says instead of the AIDA SPD window.
 
aida memory window dident tell me much, the memory, motherbord tap did.
effictive clock 1067mhz
when it was running at 1600mhz i left the bram voltage on auto, and it was 1.8v
setting it on 1.65v according to ocz specs, it dident work.
 
I would try to back down from that 1.8V, that's pretty high for DDR3.
 
yes i did, when i saw 1.8v i brought it down, running at 1333mhz gives me 1.6v auto vcore, so i leave it on that.
 
Have you tried running/testing your kit for stability/memory errors at DDR3-1600 7-8-7-24 1.65V?
