A88XI AC RAM settings help!

Hi Guys,
I'm a complete noob when it comes to PC building, so go easy lol
I've built a budget gaming PC using the A88XI AC motherboard a A10 7850 and 8GB of Corsair Vengence 2133Mhz RAM.
The system works ok, but the RAM speeds reported are only showing as 667Mhz or 1066Mhz depending on where I look.
But I don't really understand.
RAM specs are: CMZ8GX3M2A2133C11R - 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Racing Red, PC3-17066 (2133), Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 11-11-11-27, XMP, 1.5V
Could anyone guide me through the BIOS settings to setup the RAM please?

Your memory has native 1333 chips on it and in the memory profile, one of the profiles will be an XMP or AMP profile which allows an invoked overclock of 2133.
By default the memory will be at 1333 (667) when the BIOS first detects it.
You need to go into your BIOS and set your memory to apply XMP or AMP depending on which one your memory has.
You can download and use CPUZ. In the SPD tab, all the memory programmed JEDEC profiles will be visible and it will also show if its XMP or AMP.
Suggest you go onto the MSI main site and download the full user manual for your board, Then go to the BIOS section of the manual and see where to access the memory control. You dont have to use the XMP settings, you can also set the memory manually according to the JEDEC specs that are reflected in the SPD tab.

  • What should Ram settings be for FCP 6 doing a slideshow with JPEGS ?

    Hi all,
    I am doing a Ken Burns effect slideshow in FCP6 that is using JPEGS only.
    I have the 24" intel imac 2.4 gig with 4 gigs of Ram installed.
    I am wondering what my ram settings in FCP should be.
    there are 4 boxes you can fiddle with the numbers.
    first two have sliders and go from 0 to 100%
    "memory usage"
    and also still cache...
    what should I be setting these to?
    thanks in advance!
    I ask because my system bogs right down with only a few layers and effects in place.
    what should my sequence settings be as well when working only with JPEG?
    I normally edit in easy DV NTSC....

    Thanks guys.
    I have found that I cannot resize and get a clean movement here in FCP.
    I tried the cutting approach jim and that at least got me through the placement of the pics to the song and then I started the motions. I also checked and then unchecked the shadow once I had it set where I wanted. I like to work through each pic from start to finish so i know exactly where I am at each night when I go to bed and then where I start again the next evening after my day job!
    haha
    but yes unchecking the shadows and feathered edges definately bought me some more time before render.
    I appreciate all the helpful advise here. You guys pour so much knowledge out there for us and mostly without even much thanks to you in return.
    One question I would still have now that I have fiddled around with all my settings....
    would anyone have the time and the knowledge to help me figure out what the "proper" settings should be for my setup for editing regular sd dv ntsc footage?
    or when I click easy setup dv ntsc does it configure my system for optimal settings each time?
    ie what should my ram settings be?
    thanks in advance.
    see sig for setup.

  • K9n2 diamond Ram timings help.

    So I've got a k9n2 diamond, and GeIL Green Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500). The problem that I'm having is that after 2 weeks of owning the ram i realized it was running at 800mhz and not its advertised 1066mhz. So I went into the bios and set it to 1066, and upon the next boot it told me i had bad ram settings and I needed to go back and fix them. I assume its not working because I didn't set the recommended manufacturer timing which is 6-6-6-18. And I believe the ram is 2t because the system wont post at all if set to 1t. So my question is: How do I set the timings I assume in advance dram settings? although there are a lot of options in there which i don't understand. Oh and I'm also running the latest bios 2.61
    Link to the ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144347
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Actually I notice the difference in Battlefield bad company 2. You see I went from these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220334   (Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)) if you don't trust the link. I switched because I kinda destroyed 3/4 other sticks of the Patriot memory I had taking off the heat spreaders...
    Edit: So you're saying that I can get it to 1066 through adjusting the timings right? If so how?

  • P965 RAM settings and more

    I have built many systems but have never over clocked so I need to ask you experts a few things. I have the P965 Platinum with a QX6700 quad core on it. My ram is Corsair XMS twin2x2048-6400C4D. Do I need to set the ram settings in the bios for this ram? I found it is to be set at 4-4-4-12 at 2.1 volts at 800 Mhz. http://www.corsairmemory.com/corsair/products/specs/TWIN2X2048-6400C4D.pdf
    Should I set this and anything else in my Bios to make this thing run at top preformance? I would no mind OCing a little as long as it's stable. please advise as I have never done this. Thanks

    I wouldn't mess with any manual timming on this board until MSI fixes it,  because it does not set the timings correctly and you would end up with an unstable system.
    If your memory is detected at 4-4-4-12 be happy, if it's set to 5-4-4-12 be happy also,  if it's set in 5-5-5-15, then, try to do something about it, other than that there is little to no difference in setting memory lower than that and chances are you won't be able to manually because the BIOS does not set timings correctly when in manual mode.
    If you have the chance, disable the FULL SCREEN LOGO and then, press pause key when the computer starts, you should be able to read the timings the BIOS had already set to auto.

  • KT4 Ultra RAm settings?

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded my system to a KT4 ultra, athlon 2200+XP, 512MB Crucial 2100 DDRAM and an MSI GF4 Ti4600.
    Now its running ok, but I think its running a tad under par. Its benching about 10900 on 3DMark 2001. Which aint the best.
    I was wondering about changing the RAM settings in BIOS. Would they have much of effect?
    Also what about flashing the BIOS, with version 1.1? I'm very wary about doing that because the last couple of times I flashed a bios it screwed the motherboard up royally. Is it worth the risk?

    Hi,
    You may try "Load High Performance Default" in the BIOS. If it works, good, you should get few extra marks by some margin. If it caused instability to the system, don't force it, revert to BIOS Setup Default.
    The effect of those RAM settings can only be seen by benchmarks. Normal usage, you can hardly feel any difference.
    For BIOS, "if it aint broke, don't fix it". Most BIOS updates do not meant to improve performance, but for bug fix and to support new hardware. Read the BIOS update info you'll know what has been fixed/updated.

  • Does adding RAM really help performance?

    My iMac 1.8 GHz G5 is about two years old and starting to run slowly. Could it be the 10,000 photos and 6,000 songs? I've started using my MacBook for most work and my iMac for most play (i.e. media).
    Does adding RAM really help performance? I've only got one 512 MB chip.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello,
    Yes, adding more memory can make a huge performance improvement.
    I've owned two iMac G5 systems. And, in both cases, I noticed a huge performance improvement jumping to 1 GB of RAM. And, while not huge, I noticed even better performance going from 1 GB to 2 GB of RAM.
    512 MB is minimal, and adequate. But, more memory makes OS X run considerably better.
    I hope this helps.

  • Quick Help w/ Ram Settings

    Hey I got a question for you.
    I have a MSI Neo2 Platinum, with an Athlon 64 3500.
    I have 2x512 DDR500 PC4000 sticks of ram.
    My question is, I always see people typing their settings in (ie: 3.0-2-2-6) I've tried to read up, but I just dont get it. Anyhow, what should my settings be at? All I do is play video games on this computer, and all I want out of my ram is what I paid for which is the ddr500 and pc4000 specs. Any suggestions?

    My advice for what its worth - dont sweat it man!
    its usually not worth much in terms of performance - just leave em set at Auto  

  • Photomerge settings help, performance settings?

    Having issues using photomerge with the latest version of Photoshop.  I have about 120 images that are 16 mp RAW.  What should I have my Photoshop Performance settings at? Cache Levels and Cache tile size?  Also how much ram should I use?
    My system settings are 18 gig of RAM, Core i7 920 like 4 different hard drives, Nvidia geforce 570 HD
    I was using windows 8, now trying 7 but they still both crash and or take hours with no results.

    I suggest Cache Levels = 6 as this is shown to speed Photomerge up vs. a setting of 4..
    With 18 GB of RAM in your system I'd suggest settiing Photoshop to use 90%.  But 18 GB of RAM is going to be WAY too little for 120 images of 16 megapixels each.  48 GB or more (possibly much more) would be helpful for that big a stitch.
    Make sure you have a HUGE amount of free scratch space available - I mean at least 400 GB or more.  Scour your system for Photoshop temp files left behind from your past failed runs.
    Also, what's your ultimate goal in image size?  Do you really need to stitch the images together after conversion to the full 18 MP size?  Maybe you should set Camera Raw to deliver conversions at a smaller size to reduce system resource usage.

    Hello Todd,
    Thanks for replying. My main concern is for the 3 preferences that are in bold. I was hoping that you (or someone) could suggest the best
    settings for these three preferences based upon my PC specs.
    If this machine was yours, how would you tweak these three preferences?
