hi, i ve got the following, M4A78 pro motherboard, AMD phenom 2 940 BE OC to 3.8 ghz, and 8 gb ram 1066 kingston hyper X DDR2 8500. i am trying to configure my ddr2 to its normal frequency at 1066 but in my bios and cpuz it states that am running at 800 mhz. i ve tryed changing that manually to 1066 and raising the volts to 2.35 max, i ve also tried lower. i ve not wanted to try higher as it will probably burn them. because i have a Black edition CPU i ve used multiplier to oc not FSB. 200 x 19 = 3800 at 1.52 v but now why doesnt my ram go to its default frequency of 1066 no matter what i do? am i missing something? its in unganged mode a 2T with 5-5-5-18, i ve tried to change that to 5-5-5-15 on dect 0 and dect 1 (whatever that is) what am i doing wrong? should i try overclocking my fsb to 266 to get the ram that i paid for without even overclocking? someone please help.
ps. also running an HD 4980 with 600W psu 3 HDD and a sat card. could it be my psu that can't handle that? otherwise i ll downclock my cpu to 3.6 or even lower if that means i can use my ram for its value
