Quick Cpu-z q.. memory speed

trojan698 · 15 Feb 2006 at 21:36

My bios is set to ddr 500 on the mem clock index, and default everywhere else. When I set my fsb to 250 and keep it on a 1:1 ratio (ddr 400 right?) cpu-z reads it as 250mhz no probs.
Just wondered why this one reads 130 =/ Any ideas?

i dont understand? the htt is 250 on that screenshot?

Right, I think I'm being a n00b. Shouldn't frequency read 250 and not 130?

If its on a 1;1 divider and your htt is 250 yes it should.

Your dividers set at FSB/17 - which is :-

(HTT*CPU Multi)/17 - which means your CPU is running about 2.2ghz.

Looks like you have an incorrect setting in your bios somewhere as it implies that your running, I'd guess, at a 2:1 not 1:1 on the Ram ratio.

hmm, it's set to memclock index value DDR 500. Not sure what ratio this is unfortunately. Think I'll just set things back to the way they were.

Put it to ddr400.

If its at 500 it would be running at a frequency of over 300mhz given your cpu oc

ah yeah, i put everything back to stock to run memtest in prep for my rma. Turns out the ballistix must fail at 2t to qualify for a replacement though ;<
