  • MSI 970A-G45 need RAM settings for F3 17000CL9Q Quad pack

    MSI 970A-G45 motherboard
    need RAM settings for F3 17000CL9Q-16GBZH Quad pack (4X4gb)
    CPU AMD+3 FX 1850
    Graphics EVGA GT 520

    BIOS has been flashed to 1.4.

    settings on BIOS for DRAM Frequency only go up to 1866 , my Ram can run stock at 2133. By default MSI has it set at 1600 currently

    DRAM voltage choices are bewteen 1.652 or1.645, my Ram needs to be set at 1.65.
    By default MSI has it at 1.166 currently.

    What do I need to do to optimize this Ram with this motherboard and CPU?

    CPU Host frequency needs to be 114 to overclock the DRAM Frequency to DDR3-2133.

    Must raise the CPU-NB Voltage to stabilize 4 slots of DDR3-2133.

    DRAM Voltage 1.66V is fine.

    You may want to try slightly lower frequency first, then work your way up. DDR301866 -> DDR3-2000 -> DDR3-2133

      1866 settings may be better with the MB

      I apprecitae your timely response to my issue. Instead of overclocking the MB too high which may not be necessary, I would rather know the settings to set the Ram to 1866 which the BIOS is set up for instead of overclocking it to 2133. What would be the Ram settings as well as any other settings I would need to adjust? MSI is very poor about what they have in their manuals for settings. Right now I am concerned as the CPU temp is running at 38 to 40 Celsius. This may be because AMD CPU's tend to run hot. But I am monitoring everything as I go with this. Thanks Robby

        40C is fine, it can be double that under load.

        For DDR3-1866, you can just set it to that, then lower timings to see what's the best that kit can do.

        8-10-9-28 should be fine, then you can try other values if you want.
