Well, people here need to know what motherboard you're using, before they can even provide any sort of help.

Sooo good it's sold out =)

Have fun with your new ram, make sure to set the timings/voltage once you install =)

i set timings at 7-7-7-20 and set voltage at 1.9 , but does not like to run at 1600,
prime 95 lasts about 30 seconds?

Well you need to change a few more settings in the Bios as well, you cannot just leave everything else on auto. Does you bios values look more or less like this?

 

[demon340]

not yet, i left way too much on auto.
i will try to match things up.
i thank you very much!!!!
what cpu are you using?
i have a 125 watt 965 right now
