SOLVED CPU-Z showing me incorrect (I think) DRAM frequency

[blazenarrow]

Hello,

So I have this ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104340

It's DDR3 1600, and in BIOS it registers at this speed when I manually put in the frequency. However CPU-Z is showing me a different value: 800 mhz.

Is there anther way for me to check the speed of the RAM to see if CPU-Z is just reporting the incorrect value?

Without being able to see the picture (its blocked at my office, not your fault) 800Mhz is the actual data rate. You have DDR = DOUBLE data rate. 2x800 = 1600Mhz.

CPUz shows the base frequency, BIOS shows the DDR (Double Data Rate) frequency, which is 2x the base frequency.

You're all set.


EDIT: Bah, ninja'd by seconds.
