Hi all! I have perused the forums for similar instances as the one I'm about to post about, but none were 'identical' though they did offer insight. Hopefully this is a simple fix.
For the sake of brevity here are my pertinent specs:
ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD FX 9590 H20 Cooled AM3+ 8C DT 220W BE H2O Processor FD9590FHHKWOX
G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin 2133 MHz (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C10D-16GAB
Upon viewing a few youtube videos on "how to" maximize RAM speeds, I have done as instructed but I continue to see in Speccy and CPU-Z that my RAM speeds are not indicative of the advertised 2400MHz (OC) of the board, or the RAM's DDR 2133 (PC3 17000) though I've had success manually setting the timing to 10-12-12-31 which it advertises.
Despite building my own desktops, I am really an amateur working within the BIOS.. Below are the screenshots from CPU-Z of my RAM, followed by Speccy's shot of the specifications of the same thing:
I am almost positive I have set the correct RAM frequency within the BIOS but it's as though it reverts to a lower one after rebooting. Am I reading this incorrectly; the random 1.5V (the memory says it's 1.6v) the low MHz nowhere near 2133, etc. Or is this functioning at a far lower speed than it ought to due to my negligence within the BIOS?

Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. I love my desktop and want to get the most out of it
