Today, when I was attempting to improve my overclock more, I settled where I was awhile back because I was satisfied with a 25% overclock, I ran into problems.

When I set my memory divider in the bios, it doesn't work. I have no clue how best to describe it but my memory is always at 1:2 instead of moving down like I wanted it to.

I have this mobo: MSI k9a2

and this ram: Geil Value Series DDR2 800 2x2gb

I moved to Vista x64 Ultimate when I received this. My previous g.skill ram didn't have any problems with the memory divider, but it was also on XP Pro.

Thanks in advance for the help. (I would contact the MSI and Geil but it is the weekend)

did u also change the value of the ram? for instance if it was 800. did u also change the ram to say 900 when u changed ur ram divider? some doesnt automatically change values for u.

Make sure to manually adjust the RAM timings. Check the SPD values for the sticks to gauge the appropriate values.

I have already set the Ram timings to the sticks appropriate values, for everything that I know. the other timings have been left on auto. It isn't the timings that are the problem though.

I have set the divider in the bios to 1:1; 1:1.33; 1:1.66, none of those settings work. Now I had a G.skill stick in here previously, and it worked fine with that ram.
