What should me memory clock be...

This is my board

My current readouts have my memory going at 333MHz...that doesn't seem right at all. I checked my BIOS and its all set to auto...any ideas?

that's not enough information. if you can post a screenshot from cpu-z. what type of overclock do you have? For instance I have a 2.4 GHz E6600 which is overclocked to 3.08 MHz, 1066 memory, the memory tab shows it @ 533 MHz, which *2 = 1066. The board is pretty good about maintaining timings. if you are not overclocking it, you probably can.

yea, thats what my bios looks like and I changed it to unlinked 533, runnin smooth, thx guys. I'll post some specs here when i get back tonight

I think I run my memory unlinked.

As for your memory, I found this off the manufacture's link from the egg:

http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_8500_reaper_hpc_edition

According to that, 5-5-5-15 timing @ 2.1-2.3V.

Also, if you haven't, I'd read through this thread:

It is a pretty good guide, and I used a lot of it when I was playing around with OCing, ect. :)

Your timings are correct. Considering your board is an Intel platform just times the multiplier and memory speed. which will give you the processor clock. Your memory may run at a higher bus so you will change that manually. A screen shot of what you are looking at may help because I am unsure of what setting you are actually looking at. You may be mixing up the fsb which the core2 uses and much different compared to how it works on an AMD platform.

There is a setting in the bios that will change the sync from your bus speed and memory speed. Usually it has a a number slash number. this will manually configure your memory and bus speed. This usually for those who overclock which should be pretty good for your chip.

Please post cpu spec. You will most likely notice that the multiplier is accurate if set to auto.

Sorry for the delay, been dealing with some problems past couple days.

Here is the txt file CPuz generated for me.

Well there you have it, it is correct and you have nothing to worry about. Now if you wanted to OC your cpu you would change the multiplier x fsb. and set your memory to desired speed.

Now look at your memory speed. it shows a model number that does not match up with the spec there. This is probably because it is running in sync mode. Raise the fsb a little and see if the memory bus also changes which it should. There is a setting in your bios that changes the ratio and runs bith buses async. The reason for this allows people to get good over clocks. You may want to run your fsb higher which will raise the ratio to memory bus. There should be a divider setting to let you choose which will get you to 1066 as the model number is suppose to run. It's actually pretty simple once you look around the bios and see the memory speed settings. It might be set to auto which you may want to choose manual.
