New Gigabyte board for Existing Kit

[absic]

What can I say Jannie,

I know you wanted to back-up your blue ray discs and DVD Fab doesn't work with ATI so I guess you had to go down that route.

Still just so long as everything is working OK, that's all that matters.

Of course, if your ATI card needs a good home, I will look after it for you as I don't use DVD Fab!!!

Well done jannie I like the acronym for ABSIC! So have you got both cards running in your machine?

[jannie]

Gosh you guys must be well educated..I had to ask my head mistress what that word meant
No DM I must admit that I did not know you can run 2 dfifferent cards in the same machine, does this mean lots of configuration? coz I do like ati cards and absic only offered 30 bob

[absic]

absic only offered 30 bob

That's more money than you normally have in Scotland.

I really wouldn't advise running different GPU's Jannie, it rarely works and can cause all kinds of problems. To save you from any further grey hairs, ship the card to me and I will throw in 2 pieces of used chewing gum, a couple of paper clips and a rather tatty copy of Luscious Mary reveals all!

[jannie]

What flavour is the chewing gum..and why is the book tattered,  have you been trying to learn techniques.
Yes I will leave the one card in.

[absic]

The chewing gum is Old Scotch Malt flavoured.

The book is rather tatty because I had to hide it under the bed in case my mum found it! It was hidden along with a long playing gramaphone recording of Andi Stewart's Greatest Hit which I will also throw in for you! 

[Dark Mantis]

Thta absic is so tight! I mean I would go to £1/19/6 and I will pay you in real money

[absic]

Don't lie DM. You know your mum doesn't give you that much pocket money!   And you told me you don't have any money at all!

Iv'e been saving and not buying dirty books! (sorry educational literature)

Its a good job us scots have a sense of humour 

Anyway, I received my GA-870A-UD3 motherboard and have put a new II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 8MB L3 Cache 125W into it.

PC works fine under default BIOS settings.

One thing I have noticed is that the memory (OCZ3P13334GK (2 x 2024MB) DDR3) is running at 1066Mhz.

According to the data sheet the ram is 1333 Mhz, the settings are 7-7-7-20 and voltage is 1.8v.

Should I set the MHz manually in the BIOS and the voltage or just leave well alone.

I did read the post regarding overclocking above 1333 but I'd be happy to just get the 1333.

Cheers

Yes you should be fine to manually use the settings on the side of the modules for your memory. If it is sold as 1333 then it should be ok at that speed although you probably won't actually notice any difference.

[absic]

Under the MIT Section of BIOS you need to set the Memory Clock to X6.66 to get the 1333 MHz from your RAM Modules.

I have the Gold Version of this memory and the 880 board but it detected them correctly for me..
Are you running the latest version of the Bios?
