ASUS M5A99X EVO r2.0 ram settings

How do i need to set my RAM setting if my RAM is 1866?
Or it will auto detect my 1866 RAM?

Tradesman1 · Jun 26, 2013

What CPU? If it's an FX 8120 or above, check if the BIOS has a XMP or DOCP option, if so enable that and try it at 1866, if so good chance you'll have to raise DRAM and/or CPU/NB voltage

FX 8350. This is my new target PC and i need to confirm that the RAM I need to adjust the setting or not.

Tradesman1 · Jun 27, 2013

Depends on the 8350 you get, some have no problems with 2 sticks of 1866, some do, if yours does then generally can kick up DRAM and/or the MC (memory controller) voltage (generally the CPU/NB voltage)

FX 8350 what do u mean depends? there are still have different 8350?

Tradesman1 · Jun 27, 2013

No, but with all CPUs, as with all DRAM, some come off the line stronger or weaker than others........Asus just did sort of a study on the 4770K CPus and their findings were that only about 15% could hit 4.8GHz or so, about 30% of all could hit 4.7GHz, etc, etc and it's true of many components - you might see it referred to as 'luck of the draw' or 'luck of the silicon'

OIC, so we need to access the bios and set only?

Tradesman1 · Jun 27, 2013

In the BIOS look for XMP or DOCP in the tweaking /advanced pages if there, enable and select 1866

Oh IC thanks guy, then i will buy my fullset soon

Oh ya any Brand of RAM suggestion? I need performance RAM

Tradesman1 · Jun 27, 2013

I'd look to Gskill, for AMD rigs their Tridents and Snipers are Great, had very good luck also with Ripjaws X and the Z lines

jcsweng · Jun 27, 2013

I never use Gskill b4, I tot kingston is the best? First heard about g.skill.

Tradesman1 · Jun 27, 2013

Believe GSkill is biggest selling these days, and has leaned towards high performance for years...At the recent Computex show they set a number of records, primarily with the Trident line....I 've been using them for about 6 years, and volunteer at their forums, doing support and working as an Admin

jcsweng · Jun 27, 2013

Then i will go for gskill sniper 1600 4GB x 2

Tradesman1 · Jun 27, 2013

the 1.5 volt set? it's sweet! and love it on AMD

jcsweng · Jun 27, 2013

Yes, actually Volt is for what purpose?

Tradesman1 · Jun 27, 2013

The voltage is how much power the sticks use to run, JEDEC Standard for DDR3 calls for 1.5, the higher voltages are normally sticks that are higher freq that call for a CPU OC and helps keep the stick's voltage is a balance with the MC (memory controllers) voltage

jcsweng · Jun 27, 2013

oh ic, I never play for OC just normal use so i will pay for 1.5v

Tradesman1 · Jun 27, 2013

Let us know how you like them

jcsweng · Jun 28, 2013

Sure let u know soon

Its easy to fix this, nothing to do with BIOS. please note that Before u flash the BIOS put the TPU and EPU switches in to OFF state. After that Flash the BIOS and restart the PC and u will see RAMs are in 1333. Shutdown the computer and put the TPU and EPU switches to ON state. Restart the computer and you will see that the CPU is overclocked and RAM is gone to something like 1584. u won't get the 1600 RAM speed because when the CPU gets overclocked the RAM speed will be lowered some little amount. I hope u guys will be happy to here this. I hope that I help u to fix this issue. Asus is a good MB company.
