Hello all its me again,
I finally sealed up my case after thorough wire management and fan setup so I moved into the next phase. As a disclaimer this stuff is all new too me I never adjusted anything in bios or overclocked anything ever.
here is my mobo, cpu and ram
MOBO
Newegg.com - ASUS SABERTOOTH 55i LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM
Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
CPU
Newegg.com - Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor BX80605I5750
I had emailed Gskill about timings before my parts arrived and they said this
"Dear Customer
The memory settings are on the memory or packaging. Input those in BIOS, or enable XMP Profile, and the memory should operate smoothly.
If done manually, you will also need to set BCLK to 160, since your CPU only has a max memory multiplier of 10x (DDR3-1333 max). BCLK 160 will allow it to be DDR3-1600.
Thank you
GSKILL SUPPORT"
Soooooo I went into bios and I managed to get my BCLK to 160 the and switched my ram frequency to 1600 saved and exited. When I ran a random benchmark in windows it said my ram was 1333. I'm not sure if I missed something or if i'm doing something wrong. So far you guys have been great and sorry about all the questions but I do appreciate the time you guys have taken to answer all them.
thanks so much!
