Help - CPU-Z says my DRAM Frequency is at: 686MHz. Is this normal?

[Grayist]

My PC's been really sluggish as of late (I might have accidentally touched something in the BIOS while overclocking and changing DRAM settings) and I believe it may be the DRAM Frequency.

Here are my PC Specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/grayist/saved/PtnwrH

In there you'll find my RAM, which should be at 1866 I believe.

Did you enable XMP in bios? If so, it should run at 1866 (or 933 in CPU-Z (DDRam))

I will do that right now.

Just remember, cpu z shows half the speed of your original memory. if you have 1866, it should say 933. i have a 1600 mhz set and it shows me 800 mhz, it is normal.

Before I do that, I followed this guide:

http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/693613-Beginners-How-to-set-your-25-6-700K-to-4-5Ghz

It had me change XMP in Overclock Tuner to Manual and I modified the values for Voltage (which I read if you do XMP, you should do Voltage Auto).

What is your take on this?

So 686MHz is okay for 1866 ...? Mine is much lower than 933.
