Memory Bus speed to High?

I don't think its supposed to be this high!



I thought it (the memory bus) was supposed to be at 333Mhz to go along with my 166Mhz FSB and my PC2700 Memory.

You shoud have said that low, are you sure you have set it up in your BIOS?
Stupid me I had it set to Auto in the BIOS!

Its ok now but it is kinda crazy I mean the memory was overclocked 133Mhz passed its rated speed and I saw no ill effects. I even played Doom 3 and Finished Half-Life 2 at that setting :\

if it works why change it?
Considering its 83 degrees at 11:30 at night and my processor is 62 degrees at idle running 833Mhz slow because of a crappy heatsink I can just imagine what my ram feels like running at 467Mhz without proper cooling. :)

Come to think of it, the processor clock in your sig looks a bit off.:p

actuaily the processor heatsink has nothing to do with the RAM tempreture besides your RAM shoud be fine as long as your computer dosn't have crashes

I know it doesn't. :p

I was just commenting on the fact I have such lousy cooling and at the time of the overclock it was no more than 65 degrees in my room at night now its over 80 degrees :\

I really don't want to fry my memory since I need the money to spend on a new power supply and a heatsink that will actually do its job in 80-95 degree weather and I'm anxious to get those 833Mhz back.
you could clean the dust out of your current heatsing and case fans as well as use more case fans
It's always better to run your ram in sync with your CPU, that way, one doesn't bottleneck the other. I refuse to run at anything but 1:1, ever.. it's like drinking non-alcoholic beer. You get the flavor but not the effect. :)

OminaeYue.. clean out your PC thoroughly, re-apply your thermal grease, maybe add a fan or two, and clock your CPU back up.. there's no reason why you should be running at a ridiculous 1.33GHz.

cooliscool that only really applies to socket A system. Unlike you i have no problems running my ram async for some 260fsb goodness:)
