I might be posting this in the wrong section but know how specific some motherboards are I figured this would be the place to start.
I have a EP45-DS3R, Intel Q9550, and 8Gigs of OCZ PC-8500 Platinum RAM. The problem is I can not tell what the FSB is operating at.

The problem with all of this is that I can not tell if I am running at DDR2-800 or 1066. I see that I have 533 running but all the RAM info says it maxes out at 400.
Also the voltage with the RAM is a huge headache. The MB wants to run it at 1.8, the RAM says to run at 2.1, and the OCZ page says to run it at 2.2v. When I try to increase the voltage the system becomes more and more unstable.
I just want to makes sure I have everything set up correctly and also if anyone could verify that the CPUZ readout of Core Speed 1999.8 MHz (6.0 x 333.3 MHz) is based off a built in Intel feature to drop the power consumption of the processor when not being utilized that would be nice.
I have looked around a bit for answers and think I may have pieced things together but am not 100% sure.
Thanks in advance.
