I suspect I am being a right plonker but on my new build (first one) why is the RAM showing as 3200 in the bios?

The CPU is a E6700 which I have mildly overclocked - to 3.00 until the graphics started blinking on and off.

I have set the timings to 44412 and increased the voltage to 2.1.

Temps look ok 46-48c.

Additionally, I had clocked the 7600 fairly mildly (can remember but considerably less than has been seen on here). It was fine for a couple of days playing BF2 but yesterday on ending he session the display started blinking on and off.

Reset sorted that until I used the NVida control - did nothing but the same sympton occurred. Reduced the clock further - no difference and then to stock settings. Its ok but have not stressed it since.

Anyway you can probably guess I think the RAM is the issue. Any help greatly appreciated.

My memory shows as being 5300 instead of 6400

My memory is PC2 6400, but shows up as being PC2 5300. Why?

Geil say it is because pre-programming the RAM as PC-5300 makes it more compatible out-of-the-box with the new Core 2 Duo boards. But it really is PC-6400.
 
I wouldn't take those SPD timings being reported by cpuz as your current timings.
You should look at the memory section of cpuz, what does it say there.
