DDR3 2400mhz 8gb ram running at 1600mhz in bios and task manager cpuz nb frequency says 1799.6 Dram frequency is 799.8mhz

[Andy]

Basically, I want to know if my ram is running at 2400mhz or not. looking at these things, I don't know if it is or not because its set in the bios to run at 1600mhz even in task manager but its clearly meant to be 2400mhz. The mobo is an asus rog crossbladeranger, cpu is an a10-7850k.

You usually need to enable an XMP profile in your BIOS to run RAM at its advertised speed.

How would I enable it in bios?

Look at any of these videos to get a rough idea on what you should do.

DDR = Double Data Rate.

CPUz will display your RAM by half the speed. 800x2=1600.

^This.

Either enable XMP which is easiest, and simplest to do, or manually set the frequency, and timing for your RAM, please be careful when manually setting this up yourself.
