memory overclock

[hathetran]

hey guys,

i jus built a new computer with a msi 890gxm-g65 paired with g.skill ddr3 ram (this one to be exact http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277&cm_re=g_skill_2_2gb-_-20-231-277-_-Productt). I tried increasing the fsb to overclock the ram to 1600 but after i did this i was unable to run the windows experience index. Theres an error that pops up saying something about kernel logger is in use. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

Don't run WEI?

It's useless anyway.

you don't have to overclock the memory, it is just that some motherboards underclock the memory to 1333MHz from 1600MHz, so you shouldn't have to touch the FSB, just the memory clocks. Just go in the BIOS and set it to 1600MHz, everything else can be left at stock/auto.

Also I agree with meticapda, WEI is one of the most useless things Microsoft, or anyone for that matter, has ever put into a program

thanks for the responses guys..i know wei is junk but its more for peace of mind...i guess im doing something wrong but it wont let me change the memory speed from 1333 to 1600 without increasing the fsb frequency?

is there somehing saying FSB/memory or CPU/memory or something along those lines in the BIOS saying Linked? If so, set it to unlinked, that way changing memory clocks won't change FSB or vice-versa
