If I set it to auto, it runs at 667mhz. And the system runs great. My CPU score dropped almost 700 points14000 on 3dmark06 but the ram is slowwww. CPU is 2.9ghz 2000 NB. Any help would be great..
I've had the same problems with my Reapers on the K9A2 Charged. I'm no expert at ram timings either, but I have messed with them without any success.

At the very least you should be able to set them to the 1:2 (800) setting without any problems, that will get you back in the ballpark.

If your familiar with the 1.1B3 Bios and P-States you should be able to lower your NB/IMC multi to ~8 (HT Multi to 7) and clock your HT Ref up to 266 and get the ram up to 1066 speeds...

The 1.4 Bios is actually VERY stable, but I doubt you would be able to hit HT/266 due to the fact that your locked into 10x NB. Most 9850's won't handle a 2660 NB/IMC..

Heres a ss of what I've been using for the last week and it has proven to be VERY stable with the Ram at 1076.
