Yes, it's located under MB Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T.)--> DRAM Configuration. Just leave DDR2 Voltage Control on Normal for the time being, but make sure to run Memtest86+ prior to attempting to boot into the OS at that DRAM frequency.

done as you said redduc it came back no errors what next m8?
 
You're all set... the modules are currently running at DDR2-1066 (533MHz as shown in the DRAM Frequency field of CPU-Z). Assuming the rated timings are 5-5-5-15 at 533MHz, you might want to tighten both tRCD and tRP from the current 7 to 5.
 
thanks redduc i'll have a go and get back to you.

cheers pod
