Error in memory speed

[Polarwindz]

I recently bought Crucial Ballistix Elite 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 kit, when I put the ram into the dim slots, I get 16gb registered but the speed is only 667mhz,

Even after setting the xmp profile to 1, in the bios it says 1866mhz but when I got to task manager,the speeds are listed as 667mhz

I do not know what to do!

I do not want to return my one day old purchase

Any ideas of what to do?

My motherboard is the Gigabyte UD3 990FX REV 4.0

Hello... it is 667 x2 so 1333mhz is being reported.... DDR means "double data rate" your BIO's should be reporting the correct value.

Am I getting 1866mhz speed though?

Hello... your BIO's should be reporting the correct value.
Where are you looking in your "Task manager" Win8 or win7?

My bios is reporting 1866mhz but my task manager and speccy are not, they report 667mhz

My os is Windows 10 Tech Preview

Hello... looking at your Bio's Memory Slot/machine screen.
it is possible that your XMP did not take on your MB... Did you "save & exit" your settings in the BIO's?

I did save , rebooted, but it still stays the same

When i check speccy , it says 930mhz but in task manager it says 667mhz

Xmp profile 1 is set, I saved the settings, still no change

Hello... Well... 930 is a good #... 1860 speed... Where are you looking in your "Task manager" Win8 or win7? I wouldn't trust the Task manager in this matter... not all reporting software is accurate.

You might need to go to repost with your MB model and "Help manually setting 1866 memory setting"
Someone else will be able to walk you though the proceedure that is familiar with your MB/BIO's.

I'm just disapointed , i spent 180$ on ram that was a good brand, and good speed, and it works, but it isnt giving me the speed

Hello... 1866 is considered "overclocked" with current CPU/MB's, But it seems the Bio's and Speccy are reporting the same #'s.

My motherboard supports 1866mhz naively
