• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Never tweaked memory before. Need some help plz!

I have more noobie questions:

CORSAIR Dominator 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145043

A newegg.com Customer review (actually several) claim:

Pros: Have it up to 1200MHz! That's a 12.5% OC.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Timings have to be set to 5-5-5-15 2T & 2.2v or you won't get a hair above 800MHz.

How do I get this?
I see the option in there, but are many more options in BIOS then just 5-5-5-15 2T...

Currently CPU-Z says (I set it to 800 Mhz and it is Linked option selected):
Frequency: 398.9 Mhz
FSB : DRAM: 11:13
CAS# Latency: 5.0 clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay: 5 clocks
RAS# Precharge: 5 clocks
Cycle Time (Tras): 18 clocks
Bank Cycle Time (Trc): 22 clocks
Command Rate: 2T

How do I get 1:1?

So In the bios (do I make these changes):

Memory Clock (Mhz): 1200 and use Linked option, or do I use Manual?

Memory Timing: Manual or Linked or Unlinked?
tCL: 5
tRP: 5
tRAS: 5
tRRD: 15
tRC: Auto
tWR: Auto
tWTR: Auto
tREF: Auto
Comand Per Clock (CMD): 2T

Memory Voltage: 2.2V

Any help appreciated. Thank you again...
