I recently got the MSI 880GM-E43 motherboard, 8GB of Corsair XMS3 dual channel 1600MHz memory, and the AMD T110 Black Edition 3.3 GHz 6-core chip.
I had a build previously that was using a non-black edition processor and the wrong kind of ram that was actually intended for use in Intel systems and I was able to get that system to run stable at about 4.5GHz, but the memory timings always sucked. They'd come up as 1213MHz or something.
I'm hoping now that I've done more research, built my own system, and got much higher quality parts, that I can hit 4.5GHz again while having my ram correctly clocked at 1600.
By default, my new system wants to have them run at 1333, but when I let OC Genie Lite run, my ram comes up as 1250-ish or something like that. However, it does automatically get my CPU up to 4.425GHz, which is a start, and the system was stable enough at those settings to install linux.
Does OC Genie only work with certain kinds of ram...or is there some step I need to do before letting OC Genie do its thing?
