3200 @ 2700 WTF?!@#!@??!!?

Ok I have 2x256 Corsair XMS 3200 and according to CPUZ its one stick is running at 2700. I had some1 tell me its my divider, but On my MSI 875P Motherboard and my 2.8c It doenst have anything about multiplyers ANYWERE and I have seen others talk about it. Anyone have any idea on what to do? I tryed to deOverclock but still same thing. I normally run @ 3.36GHZ but Heres some PICS default.





Thanks

you need to change it in your bios. thats what i had to do. might either be your cpu/dram ratio or one of the other settings!

 

It's an incorrect BIOS setting. Doesn't mean you're keyboard has to explode, however

 

you can get different dividers for ram running at the same time?

 

According to those images you are indeed running a divider (5:4). You'll need to change a bios setting to get this to 1:1. It's not a multiplier, its a divider and will probably be found in the RAM settings somewhere (some mobos have divider settings 1:1, 5:4 etc etc, whilst others have speed settings, 166(333), 200(400), etc.)

 

Mine has a 400 FSB Setting for the RAM. Mine is on 400 when I took those screenies, yet it still stays at 5:4. I have no clue what to do. Ive got latest bios everything. Im clueless as to what else to try.

yes i am having the same problems on my Asus P4P-800SE V.2.51 Bios ,P4 3.0E(prescott) at 800FSB

it says that i am running at 200mhz RAM???why??

i have looked ALL through my BIOS and found no settings exept Dual Channel and Enhanced Mode and Enhanced is on but Dual Channel isnt becuase i only have 1 stick of 512

mayb its an error in cpu-z unlikly but possible, also try the sticks in another computer to make sure its not wrongly labled ram, again unlikly but possible (has happened twice to me)

 

and what speed were you expecting?

 

i was expecting 400MHZ??i dont know much about ram but if its labled 400mhz it should be able to run ATLEAST 350MHz or close to 400

mabye i am wrong

400mhzDDR = 200mhz

 

well, i can't offer much on how to fix it as i have the same problem with my PC3200. nvMonitor shows the RAM as being locked to the CPU fsb. I tweaked the settings every way i could think of, but it always forced the RAM to the CPU.

I'm thinking that it's a limitation in the way the manufacturer implemented support for single/double sided memory and single/dual channel interfacing.
