Installation
Installation was fairly straight forward. No problems here. Needless to say ... just make sure you don't insert the modules the wrong way round. During our tests we used Asus M2R32-MVP motherboard, the DIMM slots are colour coded for easy installation of the memory modules ... thus enabling dual channel memory mode. I presume a majority of motherboards now have this. The next step is to adjust the BIOS settings for memory timings and voltage.
BIOS Settings
This part is very important. Running the memory at the wrong timings, speed and voltage can damage your memory modules and also reduce the performance of your whole system.
If you are unsure what divider to use or what memory timings to set ... it is best that you leave all memory settings to SPD or AUTO. In our tests, we selected manual in the BIOS so that we could run memory timings at 4-4-4-12.
Voltage adjustments are needed for overclocking ... again if you do not plan to overclock, I recommend that you leave this setting alone. During our overclocking tests we increased the voltage to 2.2v.
