I need serious expert help. I've asked so many and can't seem to get a knowledgeable answer. Why does CPU-Z, SiSoftware Sandra and even AIBooster (above 270FSB/1080FSB QDR) read memory frequencies at 1/4th their actual speed? Also why are the dividers so extreme in their ratios?
The screenshot below verifies I've been able to successfully boot at 1066MHz FSB (QDR) and 770MHz-DDR2.....YET looking at the screenshot/s below CPU-Z reads 193.9MHz at 11:0? And Sandra indicates 6400MB/s at 2x 194MHz (388MHz data rate)? To show this isn't a single event, other attachmensts show the system running at (CPU-Z) 145.9MHz at 16:9 ratio, and Sandra reads RAM BW score 6370MB/s at (FSB speed) 4x 259MHz (1036MHz data rate), (memory speed) 2x 145MHz (290MHz data rate)?
I've tried All three P5ND2-SLi Dlx BIOS versions 0605, 0708, 0802 back to 0605, and have tried several CPU-Z and Sandra versions with no changes? I've tested this on the Gigabyte GA-N8-SLI Royal and have the same results? It must ne the chipset, but I soimply can't understand why no reviewers have mentioned this issue? I've tried two different CPU's Pentium 540 and currently running 630, and I've tried fourdifferent types of DDR2 including OCZ 6400, Corsair 5400UL, Transcend 533 (2x1GB), and Crucial Ballistix Tracer 5300....PLEASE HELP me
