Gigabyte S3 (965P) and 4 sticks

[emilyek]

I recently put another 2 single-gig sticks into the box in my sig. I built it at about this time last year.

The memory is the GSKILL red-colored HS DDR2 800. 2 sticks usually run at 5-5-5-15.

When I put in 4, CPUZ tells me it now runs at 5-16-16-17. Setting the timings manually did not fix this.

Is this a typical thing for 4 sticks to do on 965P or...?

Just wondering.

Thanks.

Maybe CPU-z has some problems in reading the real timings, try something else, like everest or sandra. I find it hard to believe that your ram works at 5-16-16-17. But I was wondering, after putting those 2 sticks in, did you manage to keep your old overclock?
