Can't run CPU:RAM Async! HELP!

[Foxie3a]

I'm on my P4P800, with my new P4C 2.4ghz.

My RAM by SPD is PC3500, it even says so on the stick(Hyper X).

I can't figure out how to run my RAM lower than my processor.

There is a setting for DRAM Frequency, with the options: 266,320(yeah, not 333), 400, and Auto.

I've tried ALL of them, and each time I do CPU-Z says I'm running at the same FSB as my processor, AND I get the same scores in 3DMark suggesting that its not using those ratios.

Luckily I can overclock my RAM quite a bit, but I bought this CPU as being able to do 305FSB, and I want to try tapping into that speed. If I overclock to 230FSB, so does my RAM, even if I tell it to run at DDR400. I just can't figure this out!

Can someone please help me out?

Talk to me on AIM please, "FunnySaps".

Or just post here, either way, I need help!

you may have to change the fsb to see the change.

Try setting ram to 320 and then upping the fsb above the norm 200.

I have. I've tried running it at 200, 206, and 230FSB, and tried running RAM at different things, always the same though.

JonSPD helped me out.

It appears that telling it to run at DDR400, or Auto will make it run 1:1 for some stupid reason.

The ratios: 266,320,400 are if you were running it at STOCK speeds. It does not change if you increase your FSB, which is kinda cheap to me. This board retails for over $100, and they can't do the simplest of things...

Oh well, I hope this helps someone else with my board.

300FSB, here I come!
