Yay new comp, question

[kc7hif]

Put it together and booted fine and all is well. My question is, do I need to adjust anything in the BIOS with respect to clock speeds etc? Right now it's using a multiplier of 20x133=2.66 ghz.

Nope. That's how it should be.

I would download CPUZ and check your ram timings and voltage.

I do run coretemp and cpuz and now that I think of it, I remember seeing PC3 10600 somewhere and the memory chips are supposed to be PC3 12800:

What do I need to check?

You should be at pc3-1600 at 1.65v

So I would need to set the voltage for one, and adjust the multiplier and bclk to:

multi: 14 , bclk: 200 instead of 133? Assuming ram multiplier is x8 it's currently running at 1066 mhz?

 

[gwarren007]

all you have to set is the ram divider 2:8 or 2:10, set the 1.65v for the ram.

 

[kc7hif]

2:8 is 1066-> 2:10 would be 1333 -> 2:12(if it exists) would be 1600?

 

[gwarren007]

Yes. You might need to go 2:8 and overclock to get 1600 for the ram
