Are you looking under the memory or the SPD tab in CPUZ? You tried setting them to auto and seeing what the BIOS picks up?

memory tab, and the SPD says the same thing, and tried BIOS on auto and same thing

Have you checked back in the BIOS to see if they are actually set?

BIOS set to manual, and still reading 3-3-3-8 @ T2, T1 also gives the same.
Set BIOS to Auto and same responce

Do you have the latest BIOS? Could be worth an update.

milkinc13 · 12 Jul 2006 at 15:13

latest BIOS, last update was december 05

Have you cleared the CMOS and tried putting the timings in again?

milkinc13 · 12 Jul 2006 at 20:55

havn't thought of that, so will try that

i solved it, well, it was already solved, the programs were only reporting back the SPD timings, once looking through CPUZ more carefully it says that its running at 2,3,3,6 . Try looking through CPUZ on a different page as i tried everything and couldnt understand it and tried various programs too!

Lol, that was the very first suggestion
