Ram frequency affecting CPU multiplier

vong

Hi,

 

Just did a bios update and now I've run into a little issue. If I set my ram to 3200mhz the CPU's multiplier gets stuck at 8x so it'll only run at 800mhz. What's the deal with that? Pretty sure the system ran fine with 3200mhz for the ram before the update and yes it's 3200mhz ram. It's currently running at 2133mhz I think as I've set it to auto with the XMP profile? (CPU-z says each stick is at 1066)

 

I've changed nothing nothing the bios apart from the CPU multiplier (to 50 so that's a 5ghz clock), the CPU voltage (1.28v) and just enabled the memory XMP profile.
