Question: When I plug in my 1600 MHz XMP DDR3 memory into the X8SAX
or C7X58 motherboard, it only shows that it's running at 1333MHz or 1066
MHz. How can I make it work at 1600MHz?
Answer: The X8SAX motherboard does not support 1600MHz XMP memory.
Therefore, it will only support up to 1066/1333MHz.
On the C7X58 motherboard, please enable 1600MHz XMP mode in the
BIOS:
Enter BIOS setup, go to Advanced -> Advanced Chipset Control -> QPI & IMC
Configuration -> Performance Tuning Mode, then select “XMP” = 1600MHz
Note: If the C7X58 motherboard detects that the memory installed is not suited
for 1600MHz XMP operation, the BIOS activates a protection routine to lower
its clock speed to 1066MHz or 1333MHz automatically. This is done to protect
the system so it can still boot using the proper clock speed.
Question: How do I update my BIOS?
Answer: It is recommended that you do not upgrade your BIOS if you are not
experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS files are located
on our web site at http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/ . Please check our
BIOS warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our
web site. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS (.rom) file to
your computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision and make sure that it is
newer than your BIOS before downloading. You may choose the zip file or the
.exe file. If you choose the zipped BIOS file, please unzip the BIOS file onto a
bootable device or a USB pen/thumb drive. To flash the BIOS, run the batch
file named "ami.bat" with the new BIOS .rom file from your bootable device or
USB pen/thumb drive. Use the following format:
F:\> ami xxxxxxxx.rom <Enter>
Notes: Be sure to type in a space after "ami". The drive letter "F:\>" is used
only as an example and is the drive letter of your bootable device or USB pen/
thumb drive. It may be different on your system. Always use the file named
“ami.bat” to update the BIOS.
When completed, your system will automatically reboot. If you choose the .exe
file, please run the .exe file under Windows to create the BIOS flash floppy disk.
Insert the floppy disk into the system you wish to flash the BIOS. Then, boot
the system to the floppy disk. The BIOS utility will automatically flash the BIOS
without any prompts. Please note that this process may take a few minutes to
complete. Do not be concerned if the screen is paused for a few minutes.
Warning
: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS
to prevent possible system boot failure!
