[Viriix]

greetings i just did a new system and im having problems. it does not display 1066 for my ram.

Asus Striker II Forumla

Xtreme Dark DDR2 1066 2x2gb

Core 2 Quad 2.83 ghz

xfx 896 gtx260

corsair hx 100w psu

coolermaster haf 932 casing

when the system boots it doesnt display the 1066ram and it keep hanging ive tried brand new rams of other brands which are 1066 but same problem faced. how do i solve this?

Set it in your BIOS.

i did but when i set it to 1066 and reboot it hangs.

when i set it on auto it shows 800.

how do i solve this?

Are the settings correct for that frequency? i.e. timings and voltage.

[Viriix]

how do i check if the timing and voltage is right? sorry im noob at this.. is it in the manual? :unsure:

[gwai lo]

Well, the easiest way is via CPU-Z. You can see the timings and voltage the sticks are rated for at certain frequencies. You can double check by looking up your model number on Corsair's site.

Use CPU-Z. Look at the SPD tab, it'll show you what timings and voltage. Then go into your BIOS and set it.

EDIT: Beaten by gwai lo again :p

so i just set it on auto first and boot to windows then use CPU-Z?

You can do whatever you want as long as you can get into Windows to see the SPD tab.

ok guys thanks for the advice.. i hope it will work.. ill update again here if it works or doesnt.. i heard alot of problems with memory on asus striker after i bought the board... sigh

[Viriix]

btw why check corsair's website? my rams are team extreme or something..

[gwai lo]

Brain fart probably, I read through a few threads at a time..sometimes on different forums..I was bound to confuse specs eventually. Same idea.

[Viriix]

ty for reply guys, ill be going back to the shop for my system and if it still cant be solved.. i will have to switch to striker extreme and ddr3 rams...

OFFTOPIC: guys if my psu ok? its corsair hx 1000w. its 500w and 500w splitted combined to be 1k watt. or should i get cooler master 1k watt modular?

[gwai lo]

I wouldn't worry about your power supply.

I fail to really see how this is an issue, you don't see significant gains with running your RAM faster than your FSB and I highly doubt you're pushing 533 FSB. Additionally, what is it right now that you can't figure out? Is it still doing the same thing? You can't figure out the SPD timings? You can't find the BIOS options? You can't figure out CPU-Z? It just isn't POSTing with the timings and voltage?
