| |
| Q1: Is the overclocking module immediately usable upon install? |
|
| |
| A: Yes, the system will work once the overclocking module has been installed into the motherboard. However, to have better performance, adjusting CPU frequency, memory clock, and timing parameter are also necessary. |
| |
| |
| Q2: Why is the default memory frequency different from overclocking memory specification? |
|
| |
| A: In order to meet every different motherboards and CPUs limitation, overclocking module usually use lower level SPD as default setting. Therefore, adjusting CPU frequency, memory clock, and timing parameter are required. |
| |
| |
| Q3: Why can't my overclocking module run at the advertised speed? |
|
| |
| A: Basically, if the motherboard and CPU support overclocking, and all the parameters have been set properly, the overclocking module should run at advertised speed. If not, you will need to take the compatibility and heat spread into consideration. |
| |
| |
| Q4: How can overclocking module achieve the best performance? |
|
| |
| A: Most motherboard user manuals will offer tips for overclocking settings. If you seek for even better performance, you may either refer to ADATA XPG website or get further information from overclocking websites. Generally specking, there is no absolutely correct answer on overclocking. Trial and error is the best way to get the experience and the joy of overclocking. |
| |
| |
| Q5: Why does my DDR3 1600G run at 1333MHz in default? |
|
| |
| A: In order to meet JEDEC standards and prevent system boot errors, all module makers use 1333 MHz as the default setting for DDR3 1600. Please enter BIOS and adjust the memory frequency to 1600 MHz to overcome the issue. |
