I picked up an MSI K8N Neo4-FI discussed over on "hot deals" (posted this question over there too) and installed an opty 165 and a 1g stick of kingston hyperx. I flashed to the v1.D bios. Haven't tried oc'ing yet, started with default bios settings and stopped there because I've noticed two odd things right off the bat:
1. post screen reports ddr 333 for my ddr400 memory, cpu-z reports it as ddr400. What's up with that? I saw an earlier post from someone with the same issue, didn't see a resolution to it. 1g stick is in slot 1.
2. cpu-z is reporting my htt as 800mhz. With my fsb defaulting to 200, and the default htt multi at 5x, I would have thought this would be 1000mhz, before tweaking?
Are there conditions under which cpu-z reports incorrectly? Or is there something I'm missing about htt (expected 1000mhz, cpu-z reported at 800mhz) and/or mem speed (expected ddr400, cpu-z reports that, but post reports ddr333)? Or is my mobo defective?
