Please help me clock my DDR3 ram.

Last response: in Overclocking

Hi, I recently purchased the following.
GIGABYTE GA-770TA-UD3
AMD ATH II X3 435 AM3
GSKILL F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM (2X2GB)
SAPPHIRE HD4850 512M

I cannot seem to get the clocking for the ram right in the bios.
I tried changing the timings 7-8-7-24 2N and voltage to 1.6 with no luck.

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM
Cas Latency: 7
Voltage: 1.65V
Multi-channel Kit: Dual Channel Kit
Timing: 7-8-7-24-2N
Model #: F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM
Item #: N82E16820231303

What should I try next?

What is the speed currently set to? I'd suggest trying lower in the 1066 or 1333 range at least at first (though there is not a ton of benefit going over 1333).

I got the same exact RAM and I am able to set it at 1600Mhz & 7-8-7-24 and even able to set it at 1T. But I got an X3 720BE and an MSI 790FX.
Could it be possible that the Memory controller of the X3 435 is holding the RAM back?

It may be the uncore in the chip, it may be the interconnects, or it could be the RAM itself.

I've got that same RAM, and I was able to run them at a bit tighter timings than you at 1.5v, but I haven't played around with it any since I overclocked my Xeon.

If I look in CPU-Z the Memory tab sais.
DRAM Freq 669.6 MHz
FSB DRAM 3:10
CL 9 clocks
tRCD 9 clocks
Trp 9 clocks
tRAS 24 clocks
tRC 22 clocks
CR 1T

The SPD tab sais the max bandwidth is PC3-10700 (667MHz)

Did you set the voltage to 1.6 or 1.65? They are technically spec'd for 1.65, so I'd give that a try. And what is meant by changing the timings with no luck?


In the BIOS DIMM settings I changed it from 9, 9, 9, 25 to 7, 8, 7, 24.
I also changed the voltage to 1.6. I do not think 1.65 was an option in the BIOS.

In the BIOS, DRAM config.
I changed the DDR3 timings to manual.
Then I changed the settings from 9,9,9,25 to 7,8,7,24. I didnt change any of the trfc's, delays or times.
Then I set the system voltage to manual.
Changed the DRAM voltage control to 1.6. I also tried 1.62 and 1.64.
1.66 was RED so i didnt try that.
The lowest value was 1.5.
None of these settings worked for me but I am not sure if I did anything right!


Update. This is Gamerx07. I forgot about that account info long ago but work PC must of had the info saved.
