Help With Conroe E6600
Ok,
here is my problem I have an e6600 on an asrock 945g-dvi mainboard witha leadtek 7600gt graphics card. When i first got the computer i had a stick of corsair select 533mhz 1gb memory. I since have brought some corsair XMS2 667Mhz 2x 1gb to enable dual channel. When I had the 1gig stick i couldn't raise the fsb past 300 giving me a clock speed of 2.7mhz. Now I have the so called good quality ram and running dual channel I still can't get the fsb past 300mhz, even though it is faster ram. My 3d marks have not increased, so basically i have spent $430 dollars for no gain (how ****ed am I) I have checked all my bios settings and everything seems set right. In the bios there are no multiplier settings, only fsb is adjustable and u can't increase the v-core cause it is locked. I am very frustrated as I thought going from 533mhz to 667 mhz ram and enabling dual channel i would see some improvement, but nothing, I am open to any suggestions! |
