Hi All,
I'm new here. I tried finding a solution in the stickies and other threads. I could find some info for similar boards and for similar ram but not what I need.
Model of the motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Model of the memory: G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-16GTX
Model of the CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Processor 4.0GHz w/ 16MB Cache
What is the problem?
I am only able to get 1600Mhz out of this Ram, it runs at 1333Mhz by default in the EFIS and using the auto setting I can get it up to 1600Mhz max but if I go any higher the board won't post and I have to use the memok button on the board to reset back to a default value of 1333Mhz.
I purchased it hoping to get 2400 however I don't want to start poking around with things I don't understand and damage or screw something. I also don't want to stress anything to the point I shorten its lifespan. I just want to get the most bang for the buck. According to some of the other sources I have found using the XMP Profiles will give better results then the auto, so using CPU-Z I got the following
So I was going to try the XMP-2400 settings. However when I go into the EFIS for the board to enter the manual settings some values like CAS Latency and RAS to CAS make perfect sense as to where they go. Others like tRAS and tRC I have absolutely NO IDEA where to put them.
I was hoping someone with the same board or experience with this EFIS can translate for me and tell me what to put where. Or give me step by step instructions or refer me to a walk through? Or maybe someone else has had the same issue and found some settings and can tell me where to pop them in.
I looked in the Asus MB manual but it was not much help. I tried on Google and YouTube but watching some of them and see in the builds they are not following what the manufacturers instructions leads me to believe they may not be trustworthy.
I figured it was better to come here and try to get advice from a trustworthy source. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this post.
Cheers,
Gazoo
