My current build:

Intel i7 4790
HyperX Fury (2x4gb) @ 1866 Mhz
Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 g1 gaming
msi Z97s sli krait edition
Windows 10

There is another thread very similar to this but I could not find the answers to solve my issue.. Basically I have manually set the DRAM frequency to 1866Mhz in the BIOS as there is no XMP option but when I look in the task manager it persistently says 1333Mhz despite what I have tried.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

 
Solution
Get the free app CPU-Z and see what it shows in the memory tab, if at 1866 it should show about 933 in the frequency pane. 667 will indicate at 1333, 800 indicates 1600. Let me know then if not at 1866 we'll try adjustments

Yeah I get about 933Mhz, I don't know why task manager would be displaying 1333Mhz :/ but thanks for your help!
