CPU-Z Memory Readings - Overclock.net

coojoe89 · 01-10-09

Woo first build! Just overclocked my Core2Quad, and i have a question about what CPU-Z is saying about my memory DRAM Frequency. After OCing my FSB settings BIOS said that the ram would run at 1200, which is the speed of my OCZ ram. However when i look at CPU Z the DRAM frequency is only 600.2 MHz. Is this ok? Obviously multiplying by 2 gives me what i'm looking for, but I really was not sure.

Also my mobo, a EVGA 780i had many ratio options for the frequencies of the memory and CPU. I just chose which one would allow me to reach my desired CPU speed and hit my stock memory speed, but i wasn't sure if different ratios meant different things in terms of performance.

Thank you for your help, I'm very new at this so go easy

Yeah with cpuz readings double the reading (DDR2, but DDR memory it reads the correct speed)

Awesome! Now i can begin stress testing. Thank you much!
