I have an amd 4800, 2gb corsair 3500llpro, and an asus a8r32mvp. I currently have my multiplier at 12x, fsb at 225 which puts me at 2.7ghz. I am at 42c under full load. However my ram frequency is at 245mhz, which is too high according to corsair and I suspect that my ati ccc is not loading because of it. My question is how do I down clock the ram to run at 220mhz without decreasing the fsb. Thank you for any help.

Take this with a grain of salt as I am unfamiliar with your particular mobo.

fsb of 225....how is your ram clocking at 245?

Mem divider should be set to 1:1
I'm guessing mem clock should be set to 200, or auto. It should then scale with the fsb...

p.s. Wrong forum for ram question...you would get more responses from the memory forum.

I have 3700, stock 2.2GHz. Fitted Arctic Cooling 64Pro. FSB at 240, HT multiplier at 4x and memory set to 266 instead of 400. CPU now at 2.64, memory at standard, reaches 57C on full load. No instability.

Sorry, was typo, I have memory on 166, not 133. I have MSI K8N Neo 4 motherboard, is running well. Even the built-in Dynamic Overclock gave 9%.
