Hello everybody,
I just noticed when I was doing a stresstest that my RAMs are running at 800mhz. When it should be 1600mhz. (Before it was at 1600mhz now its 800mhz)
Checked on CPU-Z, Geekbench 4, AIDA64, all the same, 800mhz. It had 1600mhz before and I don't know why it changed to 800.
I have an ASUS BIOS which is setted at DDR3-1600 (ASUS Z97 PRO GAMER).
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3
What can I do?

Here below you can see my RAM running at 800mhz
 
Solution
go to bios and enable xmp.

to enter bios hit either DEL or F2 button when your pc starts. Then got to ez-mode, find "xmp" and choose "profile 1".
