I recently bought a Gigabyte p31-es3g motherboard. In it's specs it said it
supported 1066mhz ddr2 memory. So i went and bought 2 x 1gb Corsair
TWIN2X2048-8500c5d PC8500 1066MHz, 5-5-5-15, Dominator E.P.P. Technology
Memory. But later i saw that it was a 2.1v model while my motherboard
supported 1.8v models. I thought "whatever, i'll just up the voltage in the
BIOS to 2.1 and that will do the trick." When i plugged it in, the bios
reported it working at 533mhz. But regardless of upping the voltage to 2.1 or
leaving it at 1.8 the clock doesn't change, it stays at 533mhz.
What am i getting wrong? What did i do wrong? What am i missing?
