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?
