Have memory w/no info. How to correctly set up in BIOS?

[mrblotto]

Hello all,
I have 2 2G-PC5300 memory chips installed in a desktop. However, there is no information on either stick regarding speed/timing/volts/etc.

Is it possible to use CPU-Z to set the memory info correctly in the BIOS? Which info would I use, the info on the 'Memory' tab, or the info on the 'SPD' tab? Hopefully this makes sense. Thanx all as always!

'SPD' tab

That is the tab your looking for. It list the SDP for each speed setting.
The 'memory' tab shows the current speed/spd setting your at.

Thank you JJMIII :salute:

yes you can use CPU-z and take down the setting and manually enter them into bios. or reset your BIOS and let it auto detect the ram and speed/timings. Your bios will read the same spd info as CPU-z is showing you.

This.

Set the BIOS to Auto.
Plug in chips and boot the PC.
The BIOS will read the settings and enter them into the BIOS all by its self.
