I got a new computer and everything works fine, except the RAM speed isn't showing up right in BIOS or CPU-Z. Here's the RAM I have:

It should be running at 800MHz, but when I check BIOS/CPU-Z it's showing up as 400MHz. When I go in the BIOS to the area for changing the RAM speed, there is a list of a couple different speeds: 400, 533,667,800, 1066. Is it safe to just select the 800MHz option? Or do I have to do some kinda overclocking or something with the voltages?
edit: This is my mobo, with latest BIOS:
