I have little knowledge on memory and the speeds involved. I purchased this RAM:
Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
And I just noticed after 6 months of usage that the speed was off. CPU-Z was reporting 666Mhz and that the RAM is PC3-10700, which is not the case. In BIOS there was an option to set to 1600 so I set that and the voltage to 1.5 ( as it says on newegg ), I set that and it seems to be running well but CPUz is still reporting the above PC type, but the DRAM frequency is now 800 ( can someone clarify this is correct, my understanding is that this speed is correct because 800 x 2 = 1600 so its the correct speed for the RAM ) also my CAS is 11 instead of the 9 on newegg, and could someone clarify what NB frequency is mine is set to 2000? I can upload picks if that helps anyone.Thanks!
