Cant get my ddr400 to 400>>

Hey guys.
i recently bumped my FSB to 333 and it runs like a champ. Idle temp is 30c. Sweet huh?

But...

Now I cant get my PC3200 to run at 400mhz. the option is no longer available in bios. Only 333 and auto. After i tried, i upgraded bios to ver 12 and still nothing. Although my temps are lower now.

Why cant i get to 400 anymore? When i was running at 266 fsb the options were 266,333,and 400. Whats up with that?

Did u try auto and see what speed is reported by cpu-z?
I was under the impression that auto sets the fsb:mem ratio to the appropriate value to make the ram run at it's rated speed.

Its supposed to. How do i find out what you just asked me to check. I know how to set it to auto but the value you stated.

Go download and run cpu-z (see utility thread)
There is a tab for memory speed and timings.
