My memory speed in my bios is 2033mhz but in windows it's only 1432mhz (cpu-z shows 716mhz) and then in the windows task manager it shows it at 933mhz as if it's running at 1886 I have no clue what speed it's actually running at as even amd overdrive shows it running at 1209mhz which means I'm getting 4 different readings....can someone please try and help me if possible idk wtf is going on at all

Specs:
fx 8320 4.5ghz
memory = 8x2+4x2 ddr3 1886 oc'd to 2033mhz
750ti
gigabyte ud3p 970a rev 2.0

 
Solution
As Said the SPD is simply info - it's not what you are running at - look in the BIOS for a setting for EOCP or XMP- enable that and then select 1600

When in the memory tab it shows dram frequency at 716 but then in the speed tab it shows the frequency at 889
