BIOS Settings for new memory
Hi,
I just installed some new memory, ripped out the old, and put in 3 new strips.
CORSAIR, 3x2GB DDR3 1600
My old memory was only 2x1GB Crucial 1333
Everything worked fine and windows recognises it as 6GB, but the guy in the shop said I should probably look at my BIOS, because it will need changing to allow the new memory to run @ 1600
So, I changed my BIOS, MS-7522 (X58 Platinum SLI) (CMOS/American Megatrends), to the memory settings 9 9 9 24 (in the CAS Latency, tRCD, tRP, tRAS fields) like it said on the strips.
However, CPU-Z doesn't seem to say 1600 anywhere.
Have I done things right can anyone tell?
Attached is a screen shot of CPUZ.
Thanks,
Rob.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I went into my BIOS, and set the options I changed back to 'AUTO'.
That didnt seem to do much in CPU-Z, it still says 534.7
Any more suggestions?
BTW, I didnt say before, my BIOS is DrMOS.
I'm all new to changing the BIOS, so sorry
Rob.
