Hey all,
I've just upgraded from an old Socket 939-based system (yeah I know it's about time) so I'm pretty new to DDR3 based RAM coming from DDR1 400.
The RAM's speed defaults to 1333 in the BIOS and I've been able to still get it POST and have the system stable with 1866 just by making the clock speed change it in the BIOS but it looks like getting it to POST with 2133 or 2400 is going to require a bit more work (voltage adjustments most likely).
I saw the thread titled for 1866 adjustments with making changes to the CPU-NB voltage and the additional +0.05V to +0.1V but I was hoping someone experienced with a similar setup could give me any tips on just how much I'll need to increase voltages. I don't want to overdo it and damage anything in the new system so any advice/tips are appreciated. I'd like to run the RAM at the 2400 MHz (10-12-12-31) that it's rated for on this system and I know that technically requires a slight overclock to get it done.
Thanks everyone for your time!
