However, with higher memory speeds such as 2133MHz, the timings will often be a little higher, so you will need to manually change them. Usually, these will default to 9-9-9-24, and a lot of 1600MHz memory already uses these timings, in which case you won’t need to change anything here. Once into the BIOS, find your way to the ‘Overclock’ settings and once there, look for memory settings.įrom there, you need to look for a setting ‘DRAM Timing Mode’, and then ‘Advanced DRAM Configuration’ which will take you to another screen where you will be able to manually input the values for the Memory Timings. It may be another button on the keyboard, so if that doesn’t work, check in your motherboard manual.
Now, getting into the BIOS should be a simple case of tapping delete as you turn the system on. Now, if you’ve bought 2133MHz memory, then you’re losing a considerable amount of speed in not having it set to the correct values. For example, if 666.5MHz is showing, then the RAM will be running at 1333MHz.
Remember, as ‘DDR’ stands for double data rate, you need to double whatever value it shows next to ‘DRAM Frequency’.
Take note of the memory speed (2400MHz for example), the timings (10-12-12-31 for example), and the voltage of the memory (1.65v for example).īefore touching any setting in the BIOS, it would be advisable to download CPU-z here, and under the ‘Memory’ tab, double check what you have your RAM set to. To do this, you can either check online from the retailer/manufacturer that you bought the Memory from, or take out one of the sticks of RAM and it will say on the label. We show you how to manually adjust the memory settings to set it to the rated speeds set by the manufacturer.įirst things first, you need to check your memory specifications. This can mean CPU overclocks are reset, fan speed profiles may be lost, hard drive boot priorities may become scrambled, and also the RAM will reset to the default speed of 1333Mhz (on DDR3). When a system is first put together, or the BIOS is reset, certain settings will revert to their stock state.
