Warning! Wrong values reported by BIOS

[peters055]

Hello ,
My Computer starts good up and stays on.
If I use SIW Tool (System Info Windows) to check my hardware I get this warning.

Memory Summary Reported by BIOS
Warning! Wrong values reported by BIOS
Maximum Capacity 8192 MBytes
Maximum Memory Module Size [unknown]
Memory Slots 4
Error Correction None

Why ?
Is there something broken, damaged ?

Here is my config:
CPU : Intel Core I 7 2600K
ASUS P8P67 DELUX Rev.B3
GFORCE GTX 580
2X4GB Kit PC3 –12800 1600 MHz Sector 5 G series (PGV38G1600ELK Dual CHANN)
CORSAIR 750 WATT

What does the BIOS say your memory is set at? You might have to manually set the values in the bios.

memory ferquency is on DDR3 1600MHz

Ai overclock tuner on AUTO

i wouldnt trust the program,check with cpuz or aida64.

Use cpuz and see what it says.

If SIW is reporting a discrepancy on "memory frequency", technically they are both wrong.

With DDR3, your memory frequency is actually 400 MHz. Your memory clock is four times that. Practically everyone's BIOS (except nVidia's nForce) uses "clock" and "frequency" interchangably when talking about memory..

And usually Windows utilities (including CPU-Z) report mem freq as one half of mem clock instead of one fourth in DDR3 systems.

Don't worry about the mem clock/freq unless you have problems.

Is everything ok about the warning I get in the program system info Windows
Warning! Wrong values reported by BIOS Maximum Memory Module Size [unknown] ?

Just software error in the program nothing to worry about ?

I worried about the Warning Wrong values reported by BIOS Maximum Memory Module Size [unknown] ?

Do I have worried about the Warning Wrong values reported by BIOS Maximum Memory Module Size [unknown] in the program system info Windows ?


SIW gives DRAM frequency 802.6MHz
Someone told me thats the same of 1600MHz

In GPU-Z you get Description FBS 1:6
And also DRAM frequency 802.6MHz

Give up on SIW.....use Speccy, AIDA64 or CPU-Z, they will report the information accurately.

If you look to my Tests above with Speccy, AIDA64 or CPU-Z
And you compares it whit the warings from the program system info Windows Is then everything ok about the warnings ?
