1600 DDR3 Ram Question!

[ockarpf]

So I Have these two 4GB Sticks

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

Just want to make sure that they are at Full speed.

Here are the Screen Shots.

They run DDR3-1333 speed.

wow really?? But I thought the SPD Page is the one that counts??

How do I fix this then

Board is Asus P7P55D

Can you give more info on how you can tell it's running at 1333?

 

[ockarpf]

He is basing it off the Memory Page - under Dram Frequency - It Reads 668 x 2 = 1336

I thought it was based on the SPD page under XMP 1600.....

 

[ShintaiDK]

You need to enable XMP to be used to get 1600. Its usually an option in the BIOS.

i thought i did this already. ill check in a little bit

I set my ram speed manually in bios. Maybe you can do the same.

Ok so under Ai Overclock Settings it was under Auto

Then my DRam Frequency was 1300, there was no 1600 option. The only wat I could adjust was to change to XMP that changed my Cpu Target Sped to 2.7Ghz and bumped my DRAM speed to 1600mhz. But it changed my BLK Frequency from 133mhz to 160mhz.

And also my CPU is running at 2.7ghz all the time instead of 1.1ghz at idle then it jumps to 3.2ghz under full load. So which is a better option can't i have best of both worlds??


Here are all the pics.
This was CPU Speed Before

Cpu Speed after with XMP Mode

Memory Speeds with XMP Mode

hmm so i went into Manual Mode under my Bios and did that Option instead. I Only changed Blk Frequency to 160, then I went to memory and it allowed for the 1600mhz. So now target Processor Speed is 3.2Ghz and my Memory is at 1600. My CPU is running at 1.2v

and I believe my memory is at 1.5v.

So I am now getting the Best of Both Worlds.
