Problem: I was setting my RAM (OCZ3BE1600C8LV4GK) on my Motherboard (GA-790XTA-UD4) to it's values printed on the RAM and on the OCZ website (8-8-8-24 @ 1600 @ 1.65v) but Windows 7 (64 Bit) does not like it. I am wanting to usie this setting as the Motherboard originally put it to (11-11-11-30 @ 1066 @ 1.5v). From what I understand, it should work fine. The BIOS display and starts loading windows, gets to the point on the loading screen where the 4 colours that make up the windows logo are just about to touch then freezes. Runs fine at Auto Values (11-11-11-30 @ 1066 @ 1.5v).
I have read putting the voltage slightly above 1.65 would help but when I put it to 1.675, weird lines came up on the screen where the computer freezes in the startup. I have a Phenom II 965 BE running stock at the moment. I tried using AOD to use BE Memory Profiles but the option is greyed out (Motherboard does support AOD though).
If you need more information, ask me.
I originally tried just increasing the Mhz but the BIOS would not load until I changed the timings aswell. I have found another site which suggested to do this:
"Set System Voltage Control to {Manual}
Set DRAM Voltage COntrol to {1.65 volts}
Set CPU NB VID Control to {1.35 volts}
Set memory Clock to {Manual} and {X8.00}
Set DCTs Mode to {Unganged}
Set DDR3 Timing Items to {Manual}
Set Memory Timings to CL 8-8-8-24 (CL-TRCD-TRP-TRAS)
Set 1T/2T Command Timing to {2T}"
But it did not work. No other parts are overclocked on the Motherboard. Also, not sure if this is the best place to put this thread so if its in the wrong spot, sorry.
