Hello all,
I've got a Gigabyte GA-EG45M-UD2h mobo that runs DDR2 memory. According to the specs, it provides "Support for DDR2 1066(O.C.)/800/667 MHz memory modules." Recently I bought some PC2-8500 Kingston HyperX RAM DIMMs (KHX8500D2K2/4G), plugged them in, and the BIOS has defaulted them to 800Mhz @ 1.8v. They have been running very stable in this config and passed Memtest86+.
It appears I need to "overclock" to get them to their rated speeds, which is 1066Mhz with latency of 5-5-5-15 @ 2.2v. I don't want to OC the Q9550 CPU to do so, because the case cooling situation isn't ideal for that. I just want the RAM to be at stock rated speed+timings. I'm having trouble putting all this information about ratios, FSB, multipliers etc together into a safe result. Attached are some screenies of my BIOS settings.
Defaults/Auto
Setting the MCH Frequency Latch to FSB 333Mhz, it's not giving me the required multiplier to reach 1066Mhz. I've gathered that a 1:1 ratio is ideal...?
What do I do? Any help is greatly appreciated.
