Hi everybody
I am quite new to OC world so please don't be mad if I ask some stupid things.
Anyway I have a (few) problems here regarding my memory upgrade. I have installed new KHX8500D2K2/2GN 2GB kit DDR2 1066MHz Non-ECC CL5
(kit of 2 - 1GB) which should be running at 5-5-5-15 and at 2.2V.
Now here is the problem. I have figured out that my memory is first booting at 400Mhz (in CPUZ) and 5-5-5-18 lat and 1.8V.
Now since for my motherboard writes on ASUS that it should work on PC2-8500 (1066MHz) I am wondering what I must do to do such thing?
I was in bios and tried to set the RAM frequency on 1066, but my BIOS offers me only (AUTO, some around 600, 800, 1000, and 1100!)
I havent seen jet that any mobo have 1100 I mean WTF?! I tried to boot it up at 1100 but It doesn't work, so I went to 1000. Now here is a only change I noticed. In CPUZ on timings it writes DRAM frequency 500Mhz instead of 400Mhz.
Now the second thing I tried to do is to raise the voltages. I went for 2.2V and it booted fine, but it does not write anywhere (CPUZ) that I changed anything... It still writes (under JEDEC#1,#2, #3) 1.80V...
I am trying to O.C. it for 5hours now...
My CPU is Intel core 2 duo E8500 and rated FSB (whatewer that means) in CPUZ is 1337Mhz, bus speed is 334Mhz
I would like to know how to set thing right in my BIOS?
I would like to tell you that I can not find a latencity settings in it, is it possible that there is none in my BIOS?
Also I would like to know what are those #1, #2 and #3 JEDEC frequencies and why are mine so low (200, 266, 400 Mhz)?
Also I would like to know why (in CPUZ) my max Bandwidth is PC2-6400 (400MHz), shouldn't it be PC2-8500 (533 MHz)?
Am sorry for being such a Noob at this, but I thought that all I need is to buy a kit of RAMs and all will be doing better... guess not.
Please help me and dont judge.
