| 1341931 | 2013-05-24 08:07:00 | I set the DRAM to 1600MHz in the BIOS. Now it is running at 860MHz. Not sure what is going on... Still 9-9-9-24 1T changed to 2T Was this using cpuz? |

| 1341932 | 2013-05-24 09:31:00 | Was this using cpuz? Yes it was. Buzzing got worse now...half-life 2 locks up quite a bit and sometimes repeats the sound over and over then stops repeating. Could it be a RAM error?? Could be that I put the RAM to 1600MHz... |

| 1341933 | 2013-05-24 11:57:00 | Could be that I put the RAM to 1600MHz... Is it supposed to be run that fast? |

| 1341934 | 2013-05-24 23:44:00 | It DDR3 Vengence, its supposed to be 1600, however not sure why it shows other speeds in CPUID, did you set the timings in BIOS as they are shown for the 1600 speeds, especially the CL timings. That fact you have changed the setting and they have exasperated the issue appears to suggest we are on the right track..Is the BIOS up to date, the memory is on the recommended list eh? I havent had any trouble with that memory and use it myself, was it okay before, are you clocking your cpu? | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1341935 | 2013-05-25 07:10:00 | The BIOS is fully up to date. Memory was working fine before. No CPU overclocking. I lowered the RAM speed to 1333MHz. |

| 1341936 | 2013-05-25 08:55:00 | Could the RAM be faulty? | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1341937 | 2013-05-25 10:24:00 | My money says no. Run memtest86 and test it. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

Could be that I put the RAM to 1600MHz... DDR standards for double data rate. The actual speed shown in CPU-Z will be around half (speeds fluctuate) of what the ram was advertised to be ie 1333mhz DDR3 ram will read at around 666-667mhz. |
