Here is my RAM: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m2a1600c9
Motherboard is a Asrock Z77 Extreme4
All the other stuff is in my sig.

Per CPU-Z my speeds are fine, DRAM Frequency 800 MHZ, 1:6, 9-9-9-24. But one thing that I thought was odd is when I run a benchmark on my memory it says it is PC3-10600 when it should be PC3-12800. I couldn't find where to change that in my BIOS settings. Is this something to even worry about? How would I correct it?

Thanks as always guys!

Little more info, the Benchmark showing 10600 was passmark... but Sandra shows 12800. So unless any of you make any different suggestions I think everything may be just fine.

Edit: Setting this as solved, think it was a bunch of nothing.
 
Your memory SPD profile ( so auto with disabled XMP ) is PC3-10600 so 1333 9-9-9 1.50V that's why some programs will see it as lower clock than XMP profile which is 1600.
