How do I configure Kingston HyperX 1600 with Intel DX58SO

[martino]

Hey guys,

I decided to post to this forum because I noticed that there was a forum dedicated to Kingston HyperX and one dedicated to INTEL I have just purchased and installed the Intel DX58SO motherboard with 6GBs (3X 2GB) of Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3K3/6GX. CPU is Intel i7 960.

Machine works perfectly fine, except the ram is running at 1066.

How do I configure my motherboard to recognize the RAM speed? I found nothing about in the bios ,even on Intel's site i found nothing
I'm a total noob at overclocking... so be gentle.
thanks , Martino

Hi
Not surei f you found the answer to your question. I am also looking to but the i7 960, same motherboard:DS58SO. Let me know what your experience is.
Back to your question: I noticed on the intel website the memory specs are: Memory TypesDDR3-800/1066. I believe this is your problem.
I Could be wrong.
