When I am in Windows, CPU-Z says that my memory clock speed is at just a little over 800 Mhz, but when I am in my Gigabyte motherboard's BIOS, it says that the memory speed is 1600. Is there anybody out there that knows how to make my memory speed 1600 Mhz in Windows?
 
Solution
it is rated in its single rate amount 800mhz memory is dual data rate(ddr) so 800x2=1600mhz so you are good to go and running what you are supposed to be
