Crsair Dominators not reading

[gofaster87]

I bought some Corsair Dominator pc2 8500 1 gb sticks for my Asus p5k deluxe board. Both cpu z and memset are showing the memory at pc2 6400 400mhz memory. Everything seems to be set correctly, any one have any ideas?

I just found out that they are 800s oced to 1066. Bummer.

Why is that a bummer. Most, if not all ram that is 1066, 1600, whatever is actually binned the same way. The timings and voltages on the sticks themselves are to tell you how to get the rated specs out of the ram. I even think that my 1600 ddr3 doms are the same way. I had to manually set them to 1600 through the bios.

Thanks for the response. I didnt realize most were binned that way.
