help! 1600mhz ram running at 1333mhz.

[phrick]

my 2x4gb of hyper x blu 1600 mhz ram (KHX1600C9D3B1/4G) on asus m5a97 r2.0 is running at 1333 mhz speed, what should i do?

should i play with the memory multiplier and bring it to 1600 mhz? will this damage it?

what cpu you are using ? model name/no ?

my cpu is an amd fx 6300.

And Motherboard?

OP mentioned it already.


@OP make sure your RAM timings are 9-9-9-24. I had the same problem with my RAM and changing the RAM timings worked for me.

EDIT: Hmm after looking at your screenshot I see that the timings are already 9-9-9-24

so what do you suggest i should do? do you think the ram modules might be faulty?

I think the Motherboard is having UEFI BIOS. In the BIOS menu, under AI Tweaker section, you will find the option to select DDR3 Ram speed. Select DDR3 1600 from the list. Now go to the DRam Timing control setting and set the CAche Latency values to 9-9-9-24-33-1T

also i found out that my ram modules are actually 1.65v (@1600mhz) and 1.5v (@1333mhz jedec). should i increase the voltage too from 1.5 to 1.65? could this damage it and the cpu?

 

[topgear]

1.65v mem voltage won't damage the cpu/mobo or the ram module but first see whether it runs without any issue at 1.5v or not - only then think about bumping up the volts.

how to check bandwidth after windows starts ? -_-

 

[topgear]

use cpu-z software .. the memory tab.

OMG look at this

*i40.tinypic.com/2im3wvn.jpg

it says 800 MHz only

but the RAM i am using is corsair vengeance 1600 Mhz

but the RAM i am using is corsair vengeance 1600 Mhz

Its still 1600MHz. Multiply it by 2.

Aren't these 2x memory kits? Put the rams in the same coloured RAM slots.

oh yeah
I became a bit tensed about it
