Memory in BIOS is at 1866MHz while in Task Manager it shows it at 1333MHz

So I noticed this the other day and have been trying to fix it, but have no idea how because I'm a total noob when it comes to my BIOS. How do I change this?

My motherboard is an MSI Z97S SLI Krait. Thanks for the help!

Check in CPU-Z (free app) in the memory tab - if it shows freq as 933 then you are running 1866 - Task manager tends to show the mobos default for DRAM data rate

It does show 933. Thank you very much!

No worries 😉 Lots of odds and ends and oddities w/ DRAM - wrote an article on many:
