Hi experts of pc building,

My MB is Asrock Z68 Pro3
Memory is Corsair Vengeance® 1.35V 8GB DDR3 (CML8GX3M2A1600C9W)
In Bios I've manually set memory as DDR3-1600 and command rate as 2 (It is 1 if auto)
But I cannot find options regarding FSB😀RAN ratio in it.
Is it normal? Anything else I can to to make it to PC3-12800

First box of cpu z D ram frequency 800Mhz
DDR double data rate so you times the value by two 800 x 2 = 1600Mhz.


FSB ratio 1-6.

Its fine you forgetting its double data rate 800Mhz up and down stream Synchronous.
At the same time for up and down so you times 800 by 2 to get the rated speed.

800Mhz up 800Mhz down at the same time = total speed of 1600Mhz.

(CML8GX3M2A1600Mhz at cas 9 C9

Look at the JDEC for XMP 1600mhz 800Mhz up and down. Cas 9 set.

Xmp is auto overclocking.

Ok I get you. Thank you.
But what I don't understand is in the SPD page it shows the Max Bandwidth as PC3-10700H (667 Mhz)
Is that something wrong? or still normal?
My ram is DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) and my motherboard is able to support dual channel DDR3 2133(OC)
 
Then enable xmp mode in the bios.
the Trc value is set wrong.
And voltages setting if done manually.

T command state set to 2 not 1.

Trc will be found in the bios settings.
and can be a sub menu.

Look at the last two values from Jdec 3 to 4.

Xmp enable in bios,
