I have an Asus Striker II NSE motherboard running a Quad Core Q9450 processor. I put 4gig Kingston DDR3 1066 in it and had no issues with it. I installed 2 DDR 3 1300Mhz 1 gig modules and it says they are running @ 1300 MHZ. I purchased 4-GIG (2 2-gig)Corsair 1600 Mhz modules and it shows them running at 1067Mhz. Now I know it won't go any faster than the CPU speed ( 1300 Mhz in this case), but why doesn't it run at 1300 Mhz? Not really liking this Asus board, I purchased a Intel DX48BT2 motherboard and while trying to set the memory to what it shows on the sticker, the voltage and the timing it won't boot. I am back running the original 1067Mhz Kingston memory. I am not sure if this memory is defective or not. I noticed while in the bios on this Intel board it saw the memory @1600 MHZ, but the timings are not what it says on the sticker. I don't know who to believe, the sticker or the bios. Appreciate any ideas. Thanks ..Chip..
The bios would state the memory description that it is reading from the slot it has been placed. I could be an issue with the memory. I have a memory stick in the BIOS it would show as 1gb but the sticker states as 512mb. I would advise you to download CPUZ software & check. What is the speed the memory is running on. -- tanuj_chadha Tanuj History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce. - Karl Marx :geek:
