Thanks for replying!

so does it mean that my current AMD processor not able to reach 2000mhz even with overclock?
how to check if it is supported by the mobo? if i use ratio of 1:4 with fsb 250mhz it says that the effective ram freq is 2000mhz.. however from what i read on the net, you could only achieve 2000mhz if you overclock your mobo to 4.3ghz like that... which I don't understand because my processor now only 3.5ghz also can reach? or is it we cannot use the ratio of 1:4, but have to use 1:3.33 instead? (which makes sense because if 3.33 is used instead, means i have to increase my FSB till 300, 300x3.33x2 = 2000mhz and processor will be clocked at 300 x 14 = 4.2ghz ? correct me if wrong...)
thanks for the tip for memory timings

Just checked MSI website, couldnt find any Qualified Vender List for RAMs for your mobo
its more to RAM + MOBO problem i think, there are quiet afew ppl here eg ah koo can OC the ram to run at 2000mhz, you just need a suitable RAM, he now got a pair of Geil 2133mhz ram already
and no, you no need to oc your cpu to 4.2ghz to make your ram running stable at 2000mhz,
1:4 ratio already can do that, any other timing may have problem, eg 6.66x. 5.33x and even at 4.00x, i experienced this before, my mobo will not boot at this ratio if the ram were oc to 2000mhz, only 8x can boot, a.k.a 1:4 ratio.
you can check this thread for reference:
