Plz help! Timings for OCZ 6400 800Mhz, noob question!

[fishboi]

Hi Guys,

I recently just built my first PC and am new to this. Slowly but surely I'm going through all the diagnostics to try and optimize my system. I think I've just unconvered a problem with the memory.

I got 2GB of the OCZ DDR2 800 Rev 2, CAS 4, CL 4-4-4-15
(CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS)

I ran CPU-Z as someone here suggested. I uploaded images of the output:

It appears that my memory is 267 Mhz at CAS 5. I'm new to this, but I paid for DDR2 800 Mhz at CAS 4!!! Could someone please take a look, and advise me where it should be at stock. I'll get to OC'ing another day. Thanks guys!

Update:

I did get some info on this, and apparently I need to set the timings and voltage manually. I really have no idea how to do this. I've included a screen shot of someone else's BIOS to build on:
http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:esPSY_-0RyUJ:www.geilusa.com/forum...opic.as

TO SUM UP:
-I need to know what speed I should be running the RAM at? I know there is some multplier involved which means that increasing RAM speed could actually decrease performance. What speed and timings should I set it to to get optimal stock performance (without OC'ng)?
-how do I know what voltage I need to set it to, to get the desired speed stated above?
-how do I punch the timings in. I read somewhere that the order of the timings in the P5W DH BIOS are different to the stardard format listed on RAM modules (although swapping a 4 and 4 around makes no diffs, just need to know for future OC plans)
-what do I need to put in for DRAM write recovery time?
-hyperpath 3?
-DRAM throttling?
-basically any other settings I need to change on that screen?
-SPD DRAM timing setting? what do I do there?

THANKS GUYS!!!! :lol:

DDR2-800 4-4-4-15 timing (DDR2-800 = 400MHz bus clock).

The web page you linked to says 1.9-2.0V, so try 1.9V first, run thorough memtest86+ and PRIME95 stress tests to see if that works. If any errors, try 2.0V, run the stress tests again.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with your MB, so I can't help out on the other details. Why not post a screen shot of your BIOS instead of some random BIOS?

:lol: I'll look into it tonight. Not at my PC during the day (boo). Thanks for the tips. I'll have to take a photo of the screen, not sure if you can take a screenshot in the BIOS :lol:

It's pretty complicated. Someone said that the RAM needs to run at 2.1 in another post. That's pretty high I think.

I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow morning. Thanks again.
