Solution
what i think is making your memory run at 530MHz is idling, im guessing you are looking a cpu-z when you only have something like the internet open or a small program, when your on a game or any high performing tasks, the memory clocks back up to as high as it needs/can go.

as far as it goes for OC'ing your memory i believe there is an option in the BIOS, if i recall correctly, there was some sort of drop down menu that listed the frequencies. i have UEFI BIOS so it might be different for you im not too sure. :)

Right now your ram is running at 1060 mhz (530 x 2) and it does not downclock like a CPU. If you have two 1600 mhz sticks of ram they will both run at 1600 mhz but CPUZ will list them as 800 mhz. Frequency settings are done in BIOS, what motherboard do you have? If you look at your motherboard manual it should tell you how to adjust the ram settings.
