Hello All,
This is my second post and I apologise in advance if this is a basic question but I can't seem to find any reading material that clearly answers my question in terms I understand.
I have an AMD Phenom X3 720 BE, Asus Crosshair III motherboard, 4GB Corsair 1600MHz DDR3 configuration and I want to set my ram up correctly to run at 1600MHz.
I attemped this yesterday evening and achieved what I believe to be this speed via the BIOS manual settings by selecting target ram speed @ 1600MHz and adjusting the timings to 9-9-9-24. I ran CPUZ which confirmed I was running my ram at 802MHz (DDR so 1600MHz right?) I didn't adjust any voltages or anything else.
Because I wasn't 100% sure about what I was doing I reverted back to AUTO settings as I didn't want to damage my rig, had I done this correctly?
Would anyone be so kind as to help either point me in the direction of a muppets guide or provide me with some guidance as I really want to learn.
Thank you very much
Spence
