Previously I was using 2GB DDR3 1333MHZ Team Xtreme rams and I was able to clock my CPU to 4.2GHZ with Water-Cooled(CPU and NB).

Before I left Malaysia, I bought Corsair H80 (Since I can't bring the whole set of my Water-Cooling and Casing), Corsair Dorminator GT 1866MHZ 2 x 2GB DDR3 rams, Corsair Force GT 120GB and Leadtek Winfast GTX680 4GB.

Now, I stay with 3.82Ghz with Cpu and 1600Mhz for my rams. I googled and some other users that using the same board could set their ram with higher frequencies, but why I have to downclock mine to 1600Mhz and the voltage had increased? I have no idea how to play with the voltage and just chose the PSU that enough for my hardware. I am a really beginner for OC-ing.

Now I am playing GTA 4 with these hardware and seem should be enough for me to play with the hardware I got, why still showed me that memory low alert? And window show me that I have 0mb dedicated video memory and 0mb system video memory but 1279mb shared system memory!

I really need someonoe to help me otherwise I gonna spent on these hardware like nothing!

I don't understand about how to set the timing for the ram and also all of the voltage things...Like I mentioned, my rams speed should be 1866Mhz with 9-9-9-24 1.65V but how come if I set it as auto the system would detected it as 1333Mhz? Now I am using Unlinked mode for CPU and Rams, so my CPU I had clocked from 2.83Ghz to 3.82Ghz (From 333 (1333) x 8.5M to 450 (1800) x 8.5M) now and the rams I set the FSB at 1600Mhz with the timing 9-9-9-24 (for the rest I remained them to be auto).

For other setting in bios as well as Loadline calibration, CPU internal thermal control, Limit cpuid maxval, Enhanced C1 (C1E),Cpu C statecapability, Execute disable bit, Virtualization technology, Enhanced intel speedstep and some hardware that i do not use at all I set them in "disable".


The picture above was taken when set all of the voltage in "auto".


This one I set the cpu voltage on 1.32, nb 1.32 and ram 1.68.

Beside these, my GFC supposed to be 4GB without turbo cache but window detected the dedicated and video system memory of it as 0mb? 4GB should be enough for gaming I guess and have no point to ask how to turn off the shared system memory thing there. And now, I keep facing error when I tried to reinstall GTA IV , I hope this is not related and won't spoiled my ssd since I got it and with the fresh install for the first time.
