Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get my ram to operate at spec. Right now it's running at 1066 by default. I'd just like it to run to the spec 1333. If I understand everything I've been reading correctly, the only way to do this is to overclock my cpu slightly. I'm very new to this. Here is my setup:
GA-X58A-UD3R rev 2.0 mobo
i7-960 processor
Crucial Ballistix 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (BLT3KIT4G3D1337DT1TX0)
Timing 7-7-7-24
Voltage 1.5V
I don't believe cooling is a problem as I accounted for possible overclocking when I built the system. I don't have any of the Gigabyte utilities loaded as I've heard they are all not-so-great.
Right now my BIOS is set to all auto (probably default) settings. My problem is I don't know which settings to change and what to change them to. I know most people overclock to 1600 RAM and I've seen plenty of posts on this. Has anyone done any mild tweaking to get to just 1333? Any help on this would be much appreciated.
