Solved mem settings

[bigcroc64]

Hi all well after huge help from essenbe and Bigmck and others that helped me set up my ssd drive i now want to check as i followed a youtube video to overclock my Q660 is now puring from 2.4 to 3.2 .Just a question please on the ram in the cpuz program i see my ram as per screen shot .just wondering what i should set these settings to in the bios or should i leave them on auto.

Cheers Rob

Hi bud,

What ram do you have? The best way to find the actual specs of the ram is to look at the ram itself, it usually has a small sticker on the side with the speed and timings.

According to CPUz you have 800mhz ram, the timings look fine for 800mhz. But CPUz will just go by whatever it's set to in the bios.

Paul.

That just shows the current settings that your memory is running at. Can you post another snip, this time showing the SPD tab which will reveal if your memory is capable of running faster.

Well it looks like you are already running a 1:1 ratio on the fsb/mem and you went from 2.4 to 3.2. id say that's about the best you are going see. besides lowering your latencies a bit, but I don't think that will get you much. if its stable id leave it alone. Also make sure you watch your temps closely after that overclock.

Happy New Year to you guys ,thanks for the reply here is the spd page

Try using Hwmonitor from CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting

Looks pretty good to me!

OK COOL thanks Devo Dave that's great i just wasn't sure if i could change the settings to better the performance of my overclock.
Cheers Rob

There is a 101 things you can do to improve an overclock, but I strongly suggest you do a lot of research on the subject and a lot of research on your current hardware. It takes a lot of trial and error to perfect things and it also has a lot risks when playing with voltages and timings. No two systems are the same. Good Luck!

Cheers Davo i recon ill leave as is now as its cruising along nicely,and if somethings not broken i usually find a way to break it .Thanks anyway.
