Am i running with 1600Mhz ram?

[kersh]

Hello

I got a question regarding my ram, i want to know if my ram are running at 1600Mhz or not, im getting 667Mhz for each slot in CPUZ, but in bios it says 1600Mhz can someone please help me out.

Please check the pictures below:

CPUZ

Here i enabled the XMP profile 1 and it automatically presets it to 1600Mhz, but there is 1300Mhz next to it i dont know why, anyone knows?

This is the first screen in the bios, where it says im running at 1600Mhz memory.


Is this normal, and am i actually running at 1600Mhz but for some reason CPUZ dosent want to show that?


Any help is appreciated.

That must be before u restarted the PC.

After the restart, it should show the current clock.

If you click on the 'memory' tab on CPU-Z it will show your memory frequency. It should be ~800 Mhz for 1600Mhz memory

It shows DRAM Frequency 807.1Mhz, so i guess it works, but why does it show 667Mhz each under the SPD tab?

the 667MhZ you see under SPD is half the clock of the Double Data Rate aspect of DDR3 (667x2=~1333). You see it because DDR3 memory has a default clock setting hard-coded into the memory for compatibility, to ensure it's able to run on the system

SPD is what allows the computer to detect the memory. It detects it at a fail-safe setting (in this case, 1300MHz). Or something like that. I'm sure someone else can give you a better explanation.

1333MHz, I should say. Sorry for the double-post; I'm not able to edit my previous post.

Do u have the latest version from yesterday CPU-Z?

Old had issues with clock frequency.

Yeah i have the latest version i believe, 1.61.2x64.. So it should actually say 800Mhz or so under the SPD tab also?

CPU-Z 1.61.3

Yes, 800 = 1600MHz

DDR3 = double data rate

Alright i downloaded it, but still getting the same 667 Mhz under the SPD tab for each slot.

I have that slightly overclocked, so it show little more.

Well mine is 807.1 Mhz under that tab (Memory) but im talking about the SPD tab right next to it, under "Max bandwidth" it says 667 Mhz, is that normal? since i got 1600 Mhz ram.

Yes to 667.

 

[kersh]

Yes to 667.

Okay then i guess everything is running at 1600Mhz, i just didnt understand why it said 667 Mhz under the SPD tab then.

Thanks for the help.
