Multiplier help please!

[dannel77]

Hi, I have a DFI Lanparty Ultra-D motherboard, latest bios 2005-03-10, when I use the multiplier x8 or x9 everything works as it should, but when I use x8.5 the FSB and the memory frequency differ (memory frequency is lowered to about 94% of FSB, according to CPU-Z) even if I use 1:1, 200Mhz settings in bios. When I use multiplier x8.0 or x9.0 FSB and memory frequency are the same. Since I need the x8.5 mutipler for the best overclock it's a pain in the a$$. What would you suggest I do? Is it a bug in the motherboard bios? I use G-Skill PC4400 LE sticks.

Thx, Daniel

Usually, your performance is worst when you use any multiplier with ".5". For some reason, OS'es don't like it.

reset the bios

Ok, I could try and reset the BIOS, would that be by the jumper on the board or could I use "load optimized defaults"? What I would like to know though is if others with this board (or other motherboards) have the same problem with the FSB vs. memory frequency at x8.5 multiplier, or if this is a problem with my bios (board) only.

Thx, Daniel
