There was never a Jedec standard for 8500 ram. So CPUZ is reading it right.
If it's like my 8500 Ballistix however, you should see a rating for 8500 ram in the timings table of the SPD tab in CPUZ, which shows the manufacturers recommended voltage rating to run at that speed.

Just clicked on motherboard information, i think it was somewhere on the asus cd and it said that my ram is running at 1066.
