It is a little more complex than that but that would be the inference. Do the modules have a XMP attached?

No...these modules don;t have XMP.

And here is the screen shot of cpuz having flashed bios AND cleared VMI

Right well your RAM will run at 1333 which is JEDEC#4 settings as long as it isn't faulty.

As an experiment to see if I could make it run at 1600....

... from default bios settings....to get my ram to run at spec (1600) I changed to these settings in bios:

memory multi - x12
uncore - x25
ram voltage - 1.66
timings 9 9 9 24/ command rate 1
qpi/ vtt - 1.315v

This is my cpuz:



The ram looks like it is running at the right speed now...but the 'Clocks core speed' is 1598.9mhz......shouldn't it be running at 2.8ghz/ 2800mhz?

It should be changing all the time depending on load. If it is in quiet mode then it will be down to 12x. It is recognising the CPU correctly as 2.8Ghz

I take it that you didn't understand what I was talking about from your previous post. The BIOS power saving modes regulate the processors speed etc depending on what is called for. EIST (speedstep) etc cuts the CPU power back when it is not being used heavilly and boosts it when it is doing a lot of work.

No need to do anything unless you want to overclock your system and then you have to set everything manually. Just have another drink and enjoy life.

Nice one! I agree with you in general, I prefer not to overclock as I hold reliability over speed any day.

If I buy new ram do you think I should buy 1600 again?
