On Memtest it may not have been reading things right, but if reading the BCLK lower than 100, which as you surmised, it should be, will lower the freq of the DRAM as with a lower BCLK, all the pipes operate slower. (May just be a bug with your mobos BIOS and Memtest itself)....otherwise it looks like you have things on track at 2133....Yes/No?

everything seems to be working.

PS
someone recommended running memtest for 24 hours, would you saiy this is needed?

[Tradesman]

You might try it for 4-5 passes which doesn't take too long, if there are problems will normally show up within those first few passes

[codelinx]

I ran 9 passes of memtest with no errors, so I guess everything is good.

Sounds like it
