Kingston Hyper X help.

I searched but could not find exactly what I am looking for or should I say anything that could give me a complete answer.

I recently built another computer, for the most part I have never really messed with the BIOS settings except to adjust the occasional voltage here or to verify my vid card was reading properly. :o

With my current system I am having an issue that I just cannot get a complete answer for. Here are the guts of my machine(yea is nothing super but it works).

MSI P6N SLI-FI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz
Thermaltake W0106RU
Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600JS 160GB
Kingston HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit
Biostar 7950GT 512MB PCI-E x16
Zalman 9500
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

The problem is my mobo bios settings are reading my ram at 667mhz and not 800mhz, I have read the FAQ about settings but my MOBO does not play by normal rules. The Settings are in a section of the bios called Cell monitor, to top it off I dont have the average 5 settings for the 4-4-4-12-1 that I am told I should be running at, I have like 10 different settings. Also I have no clue as to where I can change it from 667mhz to 800mhz. I have looked everywhere and cannot even locate it.

Does anyone have a link or know anything of that matter that could help me out. :confused:

I got the ram and its a known issue that it has to be changed in bios but I cannot find how to do it correctly online. :mad:

Once I can figure this out then I can learn how to overclock that CPU of mine!!:cool:
 
To set your RAM speed to 800MHz DDR, in the Cell Menu set system clock mode to manual then set Memory clock to 400MHz (may be 800MHz, use which ever makes sense from where it is. You will be increasing the speed). To set your timings go to Advanced DRAM Configuration. To set 4-4-4-12-1 set the following:
Memory Timings - Manual

tCL - 4
tRC - 4
tRP - 4
tRAS - 12
Command Per Clock - 1

You are my hero this page has been printed and will be taken home with me and plastered on my Igotsedumacatedanlernsumpin board!!!

Thank you very much!!
 
[ego]I know, I'm great[/ego] :P :D

The specs for that RAM have it overvolted as well, it's either 2.0V (+0.2V) or 1.9V (+0.1V) depending on what part # you have.
 
Thanks again,
I enjoy building my own systems, just lately some of the latest and greatest toys require a tad more knowledge than I currently have. I guess I need to read some more!!
 
Hope it all goes well there. I just received an order with a 2gb kit of the 1.95v Cas Lat. 4 memory myself for a new build in the works. On the old Socket A boards along with the Intel line using DDR400 memory the fsb there would simply be set to 200mhz(200x2=400) to see 400mhz on the post screen. With the fastest model cpu being installed the bios should auto detect it and see the 800mhz automatically.

The E6300 is a slower Core 2 model capatible with the 667 max boards seeing the slower default on those model boards. Get familiar with the board's user manual for the bios anyways. The specifications for that model can be looked over at http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=P6N_SLI-FI&class=mb

The download page at the link here is something to add to your IE favorites for various updates as well as the downloadable form of the manual if needed. http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=manual&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1141
 
Hehe information is just flying out now, I am glad this was the first site to come up on google search. The others I have visited have been slightly vague with information.
 
As a general rule you will find the people at CF far more courteous then seen on other forums! Having been on a long list of forums and reviewing how those were conducted CF remains at the top of the list. What else can I say? :D
 
I just wanted to say thanks again, I got the RAM settings fixed with no issues, now I am going to start playing with my E6300, I have heard some rainbow stories about OCing this thing.
 
For the most part the lower end models will oc further then the fastest stock models. Why? They are primarily on the same die with the low end model reaching the top models which have less room for moving the multipliers. Others drop the cpu and oc the memory clock instead. I hear some favor the E6300 over the E6600 for this.

Since I manage to load things up as it is I usually run stock and see enoiugh hardware stresses placed with some good loads on the system resources. One reason for beefing up the new build is for that kind of multitasking. Here I run AMD boards not having used an Intel model for actually several years now. Those old IBM, DEC, and AST desktops. You know how it is. :P
 
Sigh ya know my main Hobby is Tuning Subarus to run fast, well I thought I need another not so expensive hobby so I went with Remote control cars, yea that was cheap......NOT! Then I decided to get a Harley Davidson screwed up that cheap hobby, and now I am stuck on screwing with computers.

Man tinkering with these things gets really addictive, I find myself spending more time reading up on computers than I ever thought I would and now well I have a P2 System,
P4 System, and a C2D system. Been building them for about 5 years now and I have 3 working systems, ahhhhhhhhh will it ever end, I dont even need 3 systems!!!
 
Just three? :P Everyone hounds me to put stuff together and get things running for them. Some years back I had some 70+ notebooks dumped on my lap to go through and savage parts from some to restore others. Before that it was early office systems and word processors. Does it end? Don't ttell anyone you know enything about pcs! :P
