CZ Platinum DDR2 1066 only runs at 800MHz
I don't think this is a Win7 issue, and ask the mods to delete if not applicable.
But if somebody can help, I appreciate. I posted this at the OCZ forum 5 days ago and no answer (I think I am spoiled.... used to the good performance of the SF members):
Some time ago I installed OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 OCZ2P10664GK in my system.
Theoretically it should run at 1066MHz, but it only runs at 800MHz. Motherboard (Asus M4A78 plus) manual says it supports DDR2 1066 with AM2+ / AM3 sockets, I have a AMD Athlon II X2 245 Regor 2.9GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM3.
Mobo manual also says it will only support 1066 with one DIMM per channel. I tried in dual channel, one DIMM per channel and only one DIMM (only 2GB), no change.
I have tried some Overclocking settings (5-5-5-18; 2.2V; 533MHz), but all I get is the system refusing to boot
Am I missing something? Is it supposed to work at 1066MHz or not?
Thanks in advance
