Hello! First build, love my UD4P for the new DAW I built. Beautiful board!
I've researched until my brain is bleeding, and I'm still confused. With the I7 using memory differently, I don't want to rely on info that might not apply. My quandary has to do with changing memory timings without changing CPU clock speeds. All I want to do is take maximum advantage of the ability of the memory I have in the machine. I have looked and not seen this specific issue addressed as all the topics seem to include CPU OC'ing as well.
Can I up the memory multiplier and voltage on the sticks and manually change timing in BIOS to take advantage of it's ratings without changing the CPU clock or voltage?
Details:
- Intel I7 on a Gigabyte EX-58-UDP4 mobo.
- Ver. F6 bios that I flashed yesterday no problems.
- Triple channel 6 gig OCX DDR3 1600 PC3 12800 8-8-8-24 1.65 volts
The memory settings are now all set to auto and the memory is showing 7-7-7-16, 1066 on all three channels at 1.5 v.
SO.... with the ability to change the mulitiplier field to 12, it shows the memory speed changing to 1600. Can I then just do that, set the timings to 8-8-8-24 for each channel and adjust the voltage to 1.64 or lower?
Can anyone give specifics steps to settings?
Thanks!
