Memory REFUSES to be set to 400MHz
I have a stick of Adata RAM that is rated to 800MHz at timings 5.
However when I set this in the BIOS of my Gigabyte P35-DS3L Motherboard, it refuses to take. I have the F8b BIOS. It always resets down to 333 MHz. I cannot get above 2.66MHz on my E6750 CPU.
A few weeks ago I WAS able to set it to 400MHz, but now i cannot. Any idea why its doing this to me? I tried reloading optimized, restarting, and then setting the memory clock to 400, no go. I tried lowering multipler to 6, still won't stay at 400MHz.
I'm totally baffled by this.

#2, Did you increase the voltage to the memory controller (g)MCH?
#3, What memory timings did you try to use?
#4, 2 multiplier? You mean the ram multiplier, right? Do you have choices with a letter behind them? 2A, 2B, 3.2C, etc?
1. I tried raising Vcore to 1.35, and it makes no difference.
2. +.1
3. 5,5,5,18
4. No, it only goes up in x.5 increments
Thanks! That took care of it. Though I only left the battery out for a couple of minutes.
