Some questions about cpu and memory frequencies...

FroGGer

I just put my new machine together last week and have it running. I've got a EVGA mobo (680i), E6600, and 8800GTX card, with super talent 6400 DDR2 RAM. I see that the cpu is running at 1066 and the ram is running at 800. Obviously, this is decreasing performance. I don't know If I can overclock the ram to match 1066, but I am looking for a guide / explanation on all this type of stuff. The bios for my new mobo is much more complicated than what I am used to (see bottom, I had a IC-7 MAX 3). I just find myself kind of lost in all this and haven't even started messing around with any of the settings yet.

Thanks

Just noticed this....

Im not sure how much you can push your ram up....but its worth a shot, right?

What are your current DRAM settings?

you might want to check over at tomshardware maybe and poke around... there seems to be a lot of people that have that board to overclock there. One of them might be able to help you out. I dont know if anyone here has one. I could be wrong though...
