Hello, i brought a g31m-es2l motherboard and wintec ddr extreme 1066 memory but my motherboard is only showing that my memory is 400 hz why?

Did you manually set the to the correct frequency (though 400 Mhz is fine) and voltage? DDR is always twice the clock frequency, therefore 400 Mhz x 2 = 800 MHz. Once at 1066 MHz, run memtest86+ overnight to make sure that the system still is stable.
