So I have this memory installed in my computer and I've got my HTT overclocked to 250MHz with a multiplier of 4x. I have the voltage setting in the bios set to auto. It ran in Memtest for 8+ hours with no errors and ran through a CPU/RAM instance of OCCT for 9.5 hours, so I'm pretty sure it's stable.
With my multiplier set at 12x, I open up CPUZ and the memory's clock reads 500MHz (CPU clock / 6). That looks right to me. I step the multiplier up to 13x, fiddle with the voltage until I can boot into windows and fire up CPUZ again, only to find that my memory is now running at 464MHz (CPU clock / 7).
Why is my memory doing this? I can't find the setting in my BIOS that mentions this anywhere, but I could be overlooking it. The memory clock frequency is set to DDR2-800, timings of 5-5-5-12-2T, all advanced memory settings set to auto, the DRAM timing control all set to auto, and all the output driver settings set to auto.
Can anyone help me get my memory to run at the same speed as my HTT, I don't understand why it's magically clocking itself down when my CPU speed increases.
EDIT: Sandra is also reporting the same memory clock as CPUZ.
