Kingmax Hardcore PC4000 500Mhz RAM reported as 333

So your RAM is running at 500MHz. Don't worry .

[skb3]

It is, how can you tell? (Excuse my ignorance)

[aidanjt]

CPUz Memory->Timings->Frequency = 250Mhz

250Mhz x 2 = 500Mhz DDR

[skb3]

Cheers guys, is it worth changing the timings?

[aidanjt]

its worth a try, see what SPD says you should be able to get at that frequency, crush the memory with Prime95 and see if it starts producing errors, if so, nudge up the dram voltage a notch and try again.

What would you consider to be a 'dangerous voltage' I think my ram is at 2.7 v at the moment?

[aidanjt]

2.5v is default, I wouldn't go any higher than 2.8.
