RAM is not working on 1333Mhz

I agree with Mike.
As Gary posted previously.

DDR should not be confused with dual channel, in which each memory channel accesses two RAM modules simultaneously. The two technologies are independent of each other and many motherboards use both, by using DDR memory in a dual channel configuration.

Dual channel requires at least two RAM cards, one card for each channel.
The channel is the pathway from the RAM slots to the CPU.
Dual channel will get better WEI and RAM benchmark ratings, ie Maxxmem, than single channel.

Triple channel requires at least three RAM cards, and three channels on the motherboard. Also a supporting memory controller, CPU integrated for triple channel.

DDR: Double Data Rate
The number is for the type or DDR version, the RAM card architecture.


Boshko's motherboard H61 chipset severely limits OC options.
The default frequency for the CPU is 1066 MHz, so running the RAM at 1333 MHz is technically OC'ing the RAM.
If the UEFI has a setting for 1333 MHz RAM frequency and it crashes the system. My guess is it's CPU limited, he'll have to run it at 1066 MHz. There's not much noticeable difference in actual speed.

His motherboard manual doesn't show the necessary options under 'AI Tweaker Menu' to make any other adjustments to the RAM, no voltage options etc.

I'm sorry if I worded my post incorrectly. I think the three of us stated the same thing in different ways. Sorry to be a bother.
Have a nice day.

Hello, I must say again .... thanks for helping me.

So, as we concluded the problem is CPU. I'll see, maybe I'll change it sometime... :)

Again, thanks all. Thread marked as solved.

You're welcome Boshko. I found it quite a learning experience.

Me too three!

Welcome to Seven Forums snapper.

Glad it was interesting for you, good that you got yours upgraded and working like you want it to.

Okay I still need help StalkeR. What did you do to solve your problem.

With no options available in his BIOS, it's like OEM BIOS - severely limited, there is no way to change the RAM frequency, his CPU may be limited to that RAM frequency also.
