Hello overclockers,
Im new here and completely inexperienced with overclocking and am hoping you guys can help me. I have an Asus M4A79T Deluxe motherboard and a GeIL GV34GB1600C8DC PC3 12800 1600MHz CL 8-8-8-28 2GB 2x DC memory kit. The RAM has a frequency of 1600 MHz and I always thought it ran at that speed. However, recently I noticed in the memory section of the performance tab of the task manager (Win 8) that my memory is running at 1333MHz. Apparently I need to OC my MB to run the memory at 1600 MHz. I just put the memory frequency to 1600 MHz in the BIOS (now you guys are probably laughing), which clearly was not the right way to do it since my PC wouldn't boot after that. I reset the BIOS using a jumper on the MB and now am back to the default settings. I still would like to run my memory at 1600MHz. Can you guys help me configuring this the right way?
