RAM Clockspeed Won't Change??

[BuddiLuva]

Hi, I have a 4GB 1600Mhz Corsair Vengeance stick in my ASRock 970 Extreme3 Motherboard, in the bios it is set to run at 1600Mhz however in CpuZ it says it is only 800Mhz???

Can somebody please help

Any advice at all?

CPUz reports the actual clockrate and not the double data rate (DDR), so when CPUz says 800 MHz it is running in DDR 1600 mode

all in all, your ram is running at the correct speed
