Hello,
Okay so today I recieved some new memory from Komputerbay - a cheap german company that uses Samsung chips to make their memo (Samsung = good).
Its a 4GB (2x2) PC2-8900 1066 memory. DDR2, obviously.
Now I wasnt particularly sure where to post this thread as it touches on both motherboards and memories.
So:
Memory timings go up to 6-6-6-25
Motheboard timings go up to 6-6-6-15 (I believe 6-6-6 and I know its 15)
My E6300 was running quite happily at 1333 rated fsb (2.33ghz) on my old kingston PC2-5300 memory. Only 2 gigs.
So after the upgrade It wouldnt boot. I got it to boot by reducing O/C to 266 and setting memory to 677. Ratio is 4:5 as it was, and for some reason it wouldnt want to run at 333 fsb with memory still at 677. I have not tried whether it works or not with any higher overclocks.
SO question now:
Is a CL6 PC2-8900 memory able to run 1066 (533) mhz at 6-6-6-15?
Do I need to overvolt it? And if so, how since my current mobo isnt the best O/C hardware (but its better than my old one aand Im sticking to it for a little longer)
How can I get a 1:1 ratio and make it all work?
Bear in mind, I dont think I am able to set the ratio manually.
