How to change and read DDR voltages

[Antimimos]

Hi everyone, where in the BIOS or system can I find my Ram voltages, and where in the Bios can I change them to 2.8v? Thanks for any help =)

They would be under DIMM Voltage in the Frequency and voltage menu. What ram are you using?

 

[Antimimos]

I am using Corsair XMS 3200

 

[DaMobster]

what specific type?

 

[Antimimos]

I can't find the Exact model number, but it is the XMS 3200 with Platinum Headspeaders, stock timings 2.5-3-3-8, I have them lowered to 2-2-3-11 (11 because I have an Nforce 2 mobo) I want to get the 3 to a 2 and I was told I need to get my ram to 2.8v rather than the stock voltage which is what it is now..

If you can't get the 3 down to a 2, I think you have CH-5. I have to run about 2.8v to get my CH-5 down to 2-2-2-11 timings. good luck

Thats exactley what I am asking how to do lol, I wanted to know waht my stock voltages on the Ram is and how to increase it in my Bios to 2.8

 

[DaMobster]

usually it's at stock at 2.6V so if you increase it by +.2 you should have 2.8V which is what I desire... if it doesn't work in 1,3 try 2,4 because sometimes they can be more stable than the other slots... just have to test it out.

Thank you very much man, I think I got it now thanks! is there any way I can read my actual voltages on the Ram though?

 

[DaMobster]

i believe you can use easytuner 4 to check what the voltage of the DIMM is. other than that I think that is the only way you can tell.

THANKS AGIAN! it was 2.7v I am going to check out raising it by .1 tommorw thanks so much man!

No problem anytime time... I hope everything works out for you!
