Hello all

Here is my system:


Motherboard
P5N32-SLI PREMIUM

CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 800MHz FSB
Memory
OCZ 2P8004GK 2x2G PC2-6400 Platinum Kit X2 Total Memory 8GB
Hard Drives
WD WD1600AAJS 160GB 7200 8MB SATA X2 in RAID 0
Hitachi 1TB 7200 16MB SATA HDD

Video
2X GeForce 9600 GT
In SLI mode

Here is my problem.

When i set the ram to 800 mhz in the bios the system BSOD on me. However when i set it to 533MHz it runs ok.

Why cant i run my ram at the speeds it was designed to run at.

Only if you are overclocking can you use the 800 Mhz speed.

Your RAM is getting its speed to reduce to compensate for the high voltage (2.1 volts instead of the allowed 1.5 volts) which is why you're seeing 533 Mhz speeds instead of 800 Mhz.

The end user difference between 800 and 533 isn't much at all to the point that outside of synthetic tests you'd never notice the difference.

Only supports 800 if overclocked. Also that RAM runs default at 2.1 volts which is too high.
