Hi All,

I have a ASUS P6T SE MOBO with Corsair [i7-DDR3] 1600 MHZ 6GB Triple Kit Memory and would like to set the BIOS to recognize the 1600 mhz instead of running at 1068mhz default. Can somoene give me instructions on how to do that? I would not like to over clock my CPU, just want the simplest way to update my memory to be used at 1600MHZ

Memory Type DDR3
Memory Size 6144 MBytes
Channels Triple
Memory Frequency 534.3 MHz (2:8)
CAS# latency (CL) 8.0
RAS# to CAS# delay (tRCD) 8
RAS# Precharge (tRP) 8
Cycle Time (tRAS) 20
Row Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC) 59
Command Rate (CR) 1T
Uncore Frequency 2137.2 MHz

You have to go into the BIOS to do it and change from auto to manual then change everything you know what the value is. if you dont know the value, leave it as auto
 
ok thanks i've read some where about setting it to X.M.P if i dont intend on teaking the CPU....just trying to understand how that works and if that is something i can try?
 
Turned on X.M.P today and went from THIS:

Northbridge Intel X58 rev. 13
Southbridge Intel 82801JR (ICH10R) rev. 00
Graphic Interface PCI-Express
PCI-E Link Width x16
PCI-E Max Link Width x16
Memory Type DDR3
Memory Size 6144 MBytes
Channels Triple
Memory Frequency 534.3 MHz (2:8)
CAS# latency (CL) 8.0
RAS# to CAS# delay (tRCD) 8
RAS# Precharge (tRP) 8
Cycle Time (tRAS) 20
Row Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC) 59
Command Rate (CR) 1T
Uncore Frequency 2137.2 MHz



TO THIS:



Northbridge Intel X58 rev. 13
Southbridge Intel 82801JR (ICH10R) rev. 00
Graphic Interface PCI-Express
PCI-E Link Width x16
PCI-E Max Link Width x16
Memory Type DDR3
Memory Size 6144 MBytes
Channels Triple
Memory Frequency 801.4 MHz (2:12)
CAS# latency (CL) 9.0
RAS# to CAS# delay (tRCD) 9
RAS# Precharge (tRP) 9
Cycle Time (tRAS) 24
Row Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC) 88
Command Rate (CR) 2T
Uncore Frequency 3205.6 MHz
 
Only thing is now I feel like all the latancy delays that increased doesnt really help even though its now running at 1600mhz.
 
What specific kit do you have? Also, if you are concerned about performance, test each setting head to head doing what you built the machine for and see which actually performs the best.
