I was unable to get the 970 performance mother board to boot with 1866 Mhz memory so I read I would need to set over clocking in BIOS to get it to work. 1 is that true and is there a guide I can read in how to set things in BIOS?

I see Kingston HyperX memory is not on the memory list for ASRock 970 Performance. Is there a way to set up BIOS so it will run faster than 800 Mhz? I have set the BIOS to 1600 MHZ but the AMD OC program reports either 800 Mhz or 400 Mhz . The system will run on the Kingston HyperX at that speed. I have been trying to find some setting that the memory will run fast and I think I got really close with Memory voltage 1.50, CPU OC at 10% but on booting both Windows 10 and Fedora 23 reported errors and was unable to run but the system did boot I am doing a triple motherboard in one case build and two of the Motherboards are ASRock 970 Performances' I need some help as I cannot afford to buy more gear. |

800 is correct reading in most programs for 1600. Dual Data Rate(DDR) works like that.
Please list the MB's BIOS revision, memory PN and no. of sticks you're using. |

In the case of that board, at BIOS level 800 is 800. I had a similar problem, besides others, having memory at 800 MHz if set to automatic/defaults and instability if set higher (2400 is an option there, so I reckon it means that and not 4800 for real). Maybe my conclusions can help you: The system is only stable when I set fully Auto without AMP and that results in 800 MHz... Further, SPD readout inside the BIOS is wrong for some values (tRFC 1 instead of ~300). Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1866 (2x8GB) with XMP. Independet of activating the XMP profile, it just works at 1333 MHz or below. If I select 1600 or above, the system hangs with a black screen. Switching "Overclock Mode" from Auto to Manual kills RAM auto detection and stability at high frequencies Edited by WKjun - 14 Jul 2016 at 12:59am |
