Has anyone experienced this?
I recently put together a new rig with an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (a very common board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131517) nVidia 7800GTX and 2 sticks of OCZ DDR400 PC 3200 RAM (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146969). The initial build and install went smooth.
I upgraded the BIOS, and all of a sudden the board was "auto-detecting" the memory as 333mhz. I did a few reboots just to make sure it wasn't a glitch, then manually set the memory to 400mhz. Worked fine. I was disturbed to see it "auto-detecting" the wrong speed, so I turned auto-detection back on to see what it thought now. 400 mhz. What the heck?
I found that everytime I flashed the BIOS (to no matter what version) it would always "auto-detect" the wrong speed. Set the speed manually then change it back to auto-detect: voila, the correct speed always appears.
Is this a flaw of the board, a flaw of the sticks, or am I otherwise going crazy?
