Gskill pc2 6400 question.

[jberry72]

i just did a new build and i have noticed for some reason my gskill pc2 6400 is not reading right. it is reading 5-5-5-15 and it is suppose to be 4-4-4-12. does that mean i have to manually set it in bios?

You need to select the EPP#1 profile in the BIOS or set the timings manually. It always defaults to JEDEC timings.

When you select EPP#1, the motherboard should also adjust the voltage. That's the purpose of EPP.
