2GB of DDR400 reporting as DDR333

[DoomUK]

I installed two additional sticks of Kingston Hyper X (all identical), giving me 2,048 MB, Dual Channel. The problem is it's only reporting as DDR333. See specs below.

In BIOS, memory frequency is set to 'Auto'... If I set this to 'Limit' (for OC'ing purposes), there's a set of options to lock the CPU/RAM frequency- problem is the 1:1 setting only gives DDR200, resulting in downclocked RAM

I tested both pairs of DIMMs, no problems.


Any suggestions?

are you sure you can only get DDR200 manually? or is it just 200MHZ (without the DDR in front)

Got it sorted now

I manually changed the setting to "2:1/DDR400", everything seems to work fine.

I've been routing around the web, and it seemsa few people have had the same trouble; the A8V Deluxe won't automatically recognise 4 sticks of DDR400, and underclocks it for safety reasons...

Asus doesn't seem to like overclocking much

Don't worry the Abit AV8 3rd Eye did the same thing, its just a pain because theirs more then one thing to change in bios.
