Memory Dillema

[Digital-Storm]

Ok, i have 2gigs of DDR2 Corsair 1066 Dominator memory, and in the bios, it says 1.9v, should i increase it to 2.2 or 2.3v? I use the eVGA Nvidia Nforce 680i SLI motherboard, with an Intel Core2 Duo e6600 processor.

If you aren't overclocking I'd just leave it be. The ram will start needing 2.2v once you run it at 1066. Right now, your memory is only running at what the processor's FSB is assuming they are in a 1:1 ratio in the bios.

Well, seeing how i have the Intel Core 2 Duo e6600, and its a 1 to 1 ratio, its running at 1066mhz

any instability? what timings are being shown (cpu-z should show you)

[RangerXLT8]

IF it's running it's rated speed, then the voltage should be set to what is on the heat spreader, and for Dominator, it's probably 2.2v. I second the motion to get CPU-z.

I too second the motion to check in CPU-Z.
