PC Wizard and Timings

[cptblackeye]

What gives, I have my ram set in my Bios at 667 with timimgs of 4-4-4-12 and when I run PC Wizard 2006 this is what I get:

Supported Channels : Dual (128-bit)
Activated Channels : Dual
ECC Diagnostic : No
CAS Latency (tCL) : 10 clocks
RAS Precharge (tRP) : 15 clocks
Cycle Time (tRAS) : 31 clocks
Row To Column (tRCD) : 15 clocks
Shared Memory (video) : Yes

Maybe something isn't accurate in PC Wizard , my setup is wrong, just plain old ignorance, or all of the afore mentioned.
This is from the EEPROM in PC Wizard:

You're looking at the right section (it reports correctly on my PC). Either PC Wizard isn't reporting correctly (they issue frequent minor updates, so check to see if there is a newer version), or your timing settings are not what you think they are.

hey mondo you know the one thing about pcwiz that bugs me.

how when you oc it shows the wattage increase 8O
on the cpu.

Glad you stepped up Mondoman. I checked for updates and I am running the current version (2006.1.70). Next I went into the BIOS and changed from automatic to manual settings of 667 4-4-4-12. Same PC Wizard results as before. I then went into the BIOS and changed to 533 3-4-4-10 and got the same results from PC Wizard again. I am now clueless except maybe check one stick at a time. BTW - I have added more ram (Patriot DDR2 667 2X512 kit) same specs as my other ram. I didn't check speeds with PC Wizard before adding more ram. Also, when i click on the memory tab in CPU-Z, the tmimngs area is grayed out. Any help would be appreciated as I am out of ideas. All of my mobo divers and BIOS is up to date.

Since you've got a new CPU and chipset, my guess is that it's a problem with PC Wizard. Go to their website and contact them about it (I think they have instructions there on what info from PC Wizard to send along) -- they'll want to know about it.

Thanks I'll do that. I already sent screenshots and info for CPU-Z problem to them.
