[badshah123]

Hello,

I have folllowing brand new setup.

Intel E8400
GA-EP45-UD3P
Gskill 4GB PC-8500

My EasyTune6 shows me max bandwidth PC2-6400 (400 MHZ) and Processor is running at 2.01Ghz. If I go to the Bios, I see dram frequency 1066. Is there something wrong with my motherboard?

Please help!!

Re: Memory issue GA-EP45-UD3P

look at CPU-z mem page to see mem specs in windows

If you have EIST enabled it clocks your CPU down at idle to the 6 multiplier instead of 9 so 6x333=2000Mhz

Thanks..that helps about CPU.

In CPU-Z mem page, I see DRAM frequency 533 MHZ instead of 1066

If I look at SPD page, it shows max bandwidth PC2-6400 (400Mhz)

Thanks again for help!!

Your RAM at 533 MHz is correct. 533 x 2 (double data rate or DDR) = 1066. The SPD tab in CPU-Z will show 400 MHz as there is no official JEDEC specification for DDR2 1066.
