why is my ram running at 333mhz per?

[newjacksm]

Am I reading this wrong? in my old post I made I questioned it being at 400 (because I thought it was 800 per stick) but it was 400 perstick 800 over all but now its reading 333

Are you overclocking right now?

If it's rated at 400Mhz, then it's double pumped and an effective rate of 800Mhz. It's probably at 333 because of the Front Side Bus Ratios (MEM RATIO LINK)]

EDIT: looking closer at your ratio - I see it's 3:5

I did overclock but I reset the CMOS so everything should be set to stock.

What's your Front Side Bus at?

 

[newjacksm]

this is the ram I have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211188 my FSB should be at stock which should be "AUTO"

Ill go check my bios now.

Open up CPU-Z and find the Front Side Bus and the Rated Front Side Bus.

This will allow me to calculate a Ratio to set your RAM at.

Where does CPU-Z tell you that?

 

[Grantofhell]

first page: CPU
It will read "bus speed" and "rated front side bus"

 

[newjacksm]

sorry bus speed is 200mhz

Ahh; It's a Phenom II. Just a second, then.
