Is my computer operating at optimum perfomance?

[clutchstrike]

Hey guys, I don't think my ram is operating to its full capabilities.

I have
OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227139
4-4-4-15
2.1 V

with
Intel C2D E6400
Gigabyte DS3 Mobo

CPU-Z says:
For Processor:
Bus Speed: 266.7 MHz
Rated FSB: 1066.7 MHz

For RAM:
Frequency: 400 MHz
FSBRAM : 2:3
CAS# Latency: 5.0 Clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay: 5 Clocks
RAS# Precharge: 5 Clocks
Cycle Time (Tras): 15 Clocks

I am not sure if this is how its supposed to be. If it needs to be changed, what do I do? I am pretty sure it has something to do with BIOS.

Thanks
Clutch.

the answer is right in front of u .

click on the ip address u supplied and look at whoozzazzzz response for pros. and theres your answer to optimizing memory.

also, try installing 1 memory stick and booting then the other then booting, then whooaaazz suggestion, some motherboards are funny like that.

If you are talking about the newegg link, I went to the customer reviews and there is no review from a whooozaazz or whatever.

Elaborate a little bit, please?

Thanks.

oops, angry chicken

what is whooaazzz?!?!

 

[Naw-yi]

and if your not already checking your system specs with Everest home edition 2.2, u should. the timings are in Menu/Motherboard/SPD when u open Everest.

hope this helps.

its just what "angry chicken" wrote about what he thinks of the memory.

there is something from Whooaazzz or whatever, but that is beside the point. He said that he put them at 2.1v and ran the timmings at 4-4-4-12 @ 800mhz and it was runnin perfect, so that is what I would do if I were you, he said he had the same mobo as you. You just need to set them manually. When you open everest or CPU-Z, just right down the names beside their numbers and when you go into the bios, match them up and lower them from 5-5-5-15 to 4-4-4-12 and higher to voltage to 2.1v on the ram and you should be good to go. That is what he is saying, and that is probably what I would have tried as well.

This is his setting @ 2.1v
CAS# Latency: 4.0 Clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay: 4 Clocks
RAS# Precharge: 4 Clocks
Cycle Time (Tras): 12 Clocks
@ 800mhz (400mhz in cpu-z or everest, it is 800mhz Double Data Rate Speed, just to clear it up if need be)

That would appear to be optimal settings for your memory at stock speeds!

Best,
