Hello all, I'm having the worst time of my life trying to understand why C19 based mobo's have an issue that only i seem to have identified? Currently running the P5ND2-SLI Dlx tried BIOS 0605, 0708, 0802 (back to 0605) Pentium 630 2x Gigabyte GV-NX68T256DH (SLI) watercooled the NorthBridge on dedicated system watercooled CPU (Alphacool).
I've tried OCZ GOLD 6400 (DDR2), Transcend 533-DDR2 2048MB, Corsair 5400UL, Crucial Ballistix 5300 Tracer. tried thes on the Gigabyte GA-N8-SLI Royal too, with the same results. No matter what speed the memory is running CPU-Z, Sandra, Everest, etc, all read the frequency by 1/2 or 1/4th. Below I've included a photo of my BIOS screen where I booted into 1066MHz FSB (CPU) and 775MHz DDR2, yet in the cropped screenshots below you'll find some odd data. Sandra bandwidth reads 6400MB/s while running at a 1067MHz FSB QDR or "4x 267MHz.." YET the memory speed reads: " 2x 194MHz (388MHz data rate)" Note the Maximum bandwidth readings and CPU-Z reading 193.9MHz at 11:0 ratio? This is NOT an isolated insicdent as this has happened with every readfing I've taken across two mobo's, four sets of memory, two CPU's, and three graphic cards both in SLI and Normal mode.
