Hi everyone
I hve a pc the specs are:
AMD Fx 6300 3.5Gh 6-cores
Nvidia Gtx 650 Ti Boost
Gigabyte Ga-970-UD3 Retail
Corsair Ram 8GB (2x4) 2133MH CL9

So my motherboard can support ram with a limit at 1866MHz and i just put these new ram i run a programm and it says that my dram frequency is at 669MHz is it this normal or will i have problem??? ( Sorry for my english i am a bit new at this)

What Nero Anchorist meant is that DDR stands for double data rate. Meaning that speed you see ie 1600 is double rate of base frequency = 800Mhz. So your 2133Mhz memory should have top base frequency 1066Mhz. Your motherboard by specification on gigabyte site support up to 1866Mhz and 2000 with OC. so 933 amd 1000 base.
You probably got too fast and expensive rams for your setup but nvm that. Something is still limiting your memories. Probably some setting in bios, try to check it.

Your bios should have something called MB Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T.) to play with those settings. Refer to manual for your motherboard for more information.
