Hello All,

I would like to set my RAM to the specified manufacturer settings in BIOS. I have Kingston HyperX T1 Series 4GB (2 x 2GB), the manufacturer suggests the timings to be 5-5-5-15 with voltage @ 2.2V. I set the timings in the BIOS but have a hard time figuring out where to set the voltage. I have bumped the DDR2 OverVoltage +.04 which in theory should make the RAM go up to 2.2V from the stock 1.8V that the motherboard currently shows. When I reboot, i check the timings and voltage through CPU-Z and the RAM shows up as PC2-6400 instead of PC2-8500. Why is that? can someone please help?

Current Specs:
MOBO: Gigabyte EP35-DS3R
RAM: Kingston HyperX T1
CPU: Intel Q9550
POWER SUPPLY: Antec NEO 550

Thanks!

it will always show up as PC6400..that's the highest DDR2 JEDEC spec

look in the memory tab... the DRAM frequency should be ~533.3 MHz if you set it to 1066 MHz in the BIOS

and the voltage needs to be +0.4v, not 0.04...

Thanks for replying!

When I look in the memory tab, it shows as PC2-6400.

In my motherboard settings, I don't have voltage increments of 0.4, it only goes in a sequence of .01,.02,.03 and so on.

I'm trying to figure out where I can change it to 1066MHz in BIOS, can't find it.
