Hi there,

My old pc of 5 and half yrs just died so i bought some new parts to revive my pc, finally :)

Well, i've got some small issues with the Kingston HyperX 2GB pc6400 ram kits that i bought.

These rams should run at DDR 800mhz but my new motherboard is detecting them at DDR 667mhz. My new board is the Gigabyte GA-MA770 DS3 coupled with a phenom 9550 quad.

I tried manually setting the ram speed in the BIOS to DDR 800 but then my pc would post with a memory error message and then revert the ram speed back to 667mhz?

I've read online that some 770 motherboards do not detect the correct ram speed but i can't seem to remember from where did i read this.

Is there any way to solve this issue? otherwise my new pc's running fine.....

Thanks in advance for all your help :) regards
 
I don't know for sure but maybe you need to up the voltage on the RAM... some RAM needs 2.0V but I think the stock is 1.8V.... I really don't know if this is an answer but its an Idea????
 
Is your CPU FSB @ 333 or 200? Also, have you tried playing with the dividers to get the memory as close to ddr800 as possible?
