1600MHz

[hapkiman]

I have 16GB of Crucial Ballistix 1600MHz (4x4GB), and I just noticed that CPUz's memory tab shows it at 798.8/798.9 MHz to 799.0MHz. It is flutuating back and forth. I know its only supposed to only show 800MHz, but it never seems to actually hit 800, only 799. Is this normal? And I checked - they are all seated nice and snug in the DIMM slots. It shows its running dual channel and all is good.

I'm not having any performance issues. System runs fast as lightning. Just struck me as odd, and I didn't see any other comments/threads similar to this.

It's fine, it's just the BCLK fluctuating a bit (mine is just over 800 by a bit most of the time because the BCLK on my setup always seems to run a bit high).
