Hello,
I am having trouble finding step by step BIOS settings instructions for my RAM and CPU, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have read a few posts here and on Patriot to make me think that this memory is not 100% compatible? I have followed the MB instruction for triple channel RAM installation and the computer boots with defaults but the CPU is showing 2.0GHz, and the memory is showing 1066.
Below is my hardware setup
Win7 64bit
Patriot PVT36G1600ELK Extreme Performance Viper Series PC3-12800 DDR3 1600 6GB 3 x 2GB Intel XMP Ready CL 9 Non ECC Triple Channel Kit (Blue)
Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz 8M L3 Cache LGA1366 Desktop Processor
Gigabyte LGA1366 SATA3 ATI CrossFireX ATX Motherboard GA-X58A-UD3R Rev-2
Additional Hardware just in case it makes a difference
EVGA GeForce GTX470 in PCIe slot -1
Corsair CMPSU-650TX
Thank You!
