Memory
« on: September 17, 2012, 08:56:20 pm »
I have 4 x 4gb Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 modules in my PC. The board is Z77-D3H.

In the BIOS the memory is shown as 1333 and not 1600 which the above is. I cannot seem to adjust it 1600 - how can this be done please?

Thanks

if you have core i7 2600k or core i5 2500k so you RAM is running at 1333 MHz because sandy bridge processor have integrated memory controller that support 1333 MHz default. if you want to run your ram at 1600 MHz so you have to enable XMP profile in Bios.

I am running i5 3570K - will running at 1600 be an issue?

Hi

Corsair memory modules normally come with an XMP attached. If so just enable it in the BIOS. Because you are filling all the slots you might find that it still won't work because of the extra loading on the controller and you may have to input the settings and voltage etc manually.

Thanks. I am using the alternative Profile1 for the last 3 days now and all is well!
