[solved] RAM settings? Mushkin 996601 with Phenom II X4 965
According to the manufacturer specs, this memory is rated for 1600 MHz with timings of 7-7-6-18 at 1.85-1.95v. I have it installed on a GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 6.0) motherboard with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 processor. Currently the memory is running at 1333 MHz, but I have read that it's possible to run it at 1600 by changing certain settings in the BIOS to get everything synced up. I tried just changing the Memory clock from 6.66 (1333) to 8 (1600) (red arrow in the pic below)
But after that the system wouldn't post so I had to clear CMOS and set it back to 6.66. Obviously there are some other settings that need to change, if this is even feasible, but I need some pointers. I generally just run my equipment at stock settings, but in this instance I'd kind of like to get the memory running at 1600 MHz if possible, since that is the manufacturer's spec for it. I've included a screenshot of my current DRAM settings below. Arrows indicate values that I left at default because I'm not sure what they do.
FWIW, the system won't boot with default settings using this RAM. I had to manually adjust the voltage to 1.85 and change the timings to get it working properly.
