Question Corsair vengeance pro 3200mhz in bios, 1600mhz in ryzen master

[Pcbuilder55]

So I just installed 3200mhz corsair vengeance pro rgb and it was saying 2133mhz in bios so I turned xmp profile on and then after restarting bios said 3200mhz now I installed ryzen master to check CPU temp and its saying 1600mhz for ram. Is it supposed to be showing half of the actual speed,because bios is showing 3200.thanks

Yes it's DDR memory Double Data Rate , so you multiply x2 ... 1600x2 = 3200

FYI: DDR is accomplished by transfering data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock cycle. Dual channel works like this: each module has a 64 bit data bus. When it is in dual channel mode the data bus appears to the modules to be 128 bits wide so more data is transferred on each cycle.
