Question My Ram is stuck on 667MHz and i bought a 1600MHz one

[Harrriii_24]

Im currently running an

AMD fx-6300
RX 6600 (ikr)
ASUS m5a97 r2.0
2 stick DDR3 16gb ram 1600

somehow it only reads 667 mhz in task manager. in the bios there are only these options available (DDR3 - 864MHz, 1151mhz, 1439mhz, 1728mhz, 2015mhz, 2303mhz, 2592Mhz) rn im currently using 1439mhz. is there any fix for this or am i just cursed with a low memory speed?

You double the speed to determine its rated speed. In your case, the system is running at 2x667= ~1333. That is default speed for DDR3.

Not all memory will run at rated speeds in all systems. What is the actual/full model of the memory you are trying to use?

Set your DRAM O.C. Profile to 1600. Leave all other memory settings in AUTO/Default.

If not sure, reset the motherboard to its default settings and then tweak as above.
