OCZ DDR3 OCZ3P16002GK and Motherboard P45D3 Platinum

[Khagendr]

hiii ,everyone , I have just assembled a new computer for myself and I am worried for the same reason as I don ‘t have any previous experience in assembling the system .SO here goes my problem The memory available to me is 1600mhz but when I go to the bios it s shows me only 1333mhz .Where did the rest of the memory gone? Above that the system that I configured is also not stable and shuts down whenever it wants too. Anything that helps is appreciated.

hello my dear friends we are no astrologer here to guess out your system configuration , we are normal human , so will you please take a step forward by posting your system configuration and your system details’ like the motherboard , ram chipset .etc . Without such vital information how can you post this thread on such an important forums . Without such vital information nobody would be able to help you out .

Hii, I am extremely sorry for not posting my information in the above question and hence I am replying below, I am having a motherboard named P45D3 platinum made by MSI company. I run a bios version of 1.2 092343242 and a chipset of Intel numbered P45 +ICH10R along with a processor of Q9950 (quad processor) having a 12m cache and a speed of 2.83 ghz .I have a memory of OCZ DDR3 OCZ3P16002GK, 1600mhz dual channel 2gb kit that is (1 *2) running at 1.9 v . I hope now I get some accurate reply

Those specifications are frightening! I mean you should never try assembling your system by yourself if you are a starter. That is a genuine OC evaluation, highly over volte. The chances to get that stable on a chipset that chains DDR3-1066. When I Checked Intel specifications for P45on there official website, are rather low. If I am not mistaken the true native specification for those modules are DDR3-1066, 7-7-7-x @1.5V +/- 0.075V. The mere fact the OCZ suggests 1.9V would be motive sufficient for me to look for better memory modules.

I first suggest you to see if the components that you have assembled are compatible with other s that you have installed. Even if they are physically compatible they may not be compatible logically. Well you can alternatively find the list of tested modules with this board and in what configurations on the official MSI site . According to my recommendation would be a Crucial CT25664BA1067.16SFd and an Kingston KVR1066D3N7/2G(N7K2/4G) or KVR1333D3N9/2G(N9K2/4G).

Mates this board is made in 2008 and so are the sticks are in addition older, This was ahead of everything fell beneath the 1.5 'standard', the board runs the P45 chipset, these boards were regularly run using DDR3 DRAM at over 2.0 volts with no troubles In fact take a glance at the QVL that’s posted on MSI website, abundance of sticks 1.7 and up. 1.9 was not strange and it's not likely to bluster up' the Mother board. In fact it was just for the starters, I break up earth out a manual for the mother board, if you glance at it there's a screenshot showing DRAM voltage at 1.85. And that’s what it setting should be.
