Getting my ram to 1066mhz

Logo09 · 04-27-2009, 10:18 AM

I cant get my mushkin ram to run at its rated 1066 speed. I dont know much about overclocking so i really need some help... right now it is running at 800mhz

Here are my specs

Foxconn a79a mobo
4gb mushkin 1066 ram
Rosewill 630Watt psu

amd phenom x4 3.0 ghz black edition quad core processor

Settings should be made in the Bios.
Before you do any kind of OC'ing I would suggest you get a quality PSU. Rosewill's are NOT .

I was planning on getting a new one soon... I looked in my bios and i couldnt find any simple settings to change the ram speed.... I dont want to do a lot of overclocking... i just want to make my ram run at 1066.....

we might be able to get you underclocked to hit 1066.............

just for the sake of "goal" discussion, I hope you are not lookign for a noticible speed improvement because you bump your ram to 1066mhz

the faster memory is mainly bought because its almost as cheap as DDR2-800 performance memory and it can be overclocked more reliably

but you arent gonna see any big wow, kind of thing

please post a digital pic of your overclocking screens from within the bios and we will see if we can get you started

also download core temp (free)

cpu-z and give us a screenshot from the Cpu / motherboard / memory & SPD tabs

also download OCCT (free) for the process

***the only way to get to 1066 is thru various levels of overclocking

the 1066mhz memory is not a "setting" so to speak
