New ASUS setup: RAM help

Guys, thanks again.

I just received my: G.Skill RipjawsZ F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH 2133MHz 16GB (4x4GB) CL 9-11-10-28-2N 1.65V

It was detected as 1600 MHz by default but i selected XMP profile 1 so it's now 2134 (why not 2133 as standard?) and cpu-z detect it as half the MHz (cause of QuadChannel?)

I'm using a P9X79 Deluxe, can someone tell me the best way to set it up from BIOS?

( I'm updating the signature right now to list all the pieces of hardware ;) )

PS:

I'm now probably having problems with my GTX670 DC2T... I'd like to know if i'm right or wrong with this component (also to turn it back to the retailer). Can someone point me the right forum where to post it here at ROG where you all are super-friendly and kind?

To add the signature, maybe I need to post once more.. (?)

It's because DDR stands for "double data rate" - and CPU-Z somehow counts only single data rates, so you just have to double what you see in CPU-Z :)

Hey there! The ram is DDR or double data rate so the value in CPUz is good.....double it and you get 2133 (or 2134 same thing) It looks like your RAM is working fine!:) RE the card you can post here or a new thread here or down in the Graphics card thread...someone will help!

Let's try here:

My NVidia drivers keeps crashing on 3DMark11 in Performance mode.

I've tried with 301.42 and also with 301.25 :/

Is the card a faulty one and may I send it back?

Thanks again mates

Are you running at stock or have you overclocked your CPU or GPU. Sometimes this is unstable Overclock.

Stock.. may i try to uninstall gputweak?

Tried with Unigine Haven DX11 and giving: "D3D11AppWindow::swap_window(): device removed"

...may i have to update my new W7 Ultimate?! O_O (Damn, probably i'm running a SP1without any update :| )

OK so I see "stock" is overclocked for that card in which case, yeah, I'd send it back if it's not stable.:(
