New pc ( ram problem )

[meshoo]

I just got done building a new computer and everything seems to be working. when i go into the bios it shows that i have both sticks installed but one of them is running at 2400 and the other 3200
Thanks in advance

Not likely.
Ram must all be run at the same speed, cas and voltage.
You might be looking at the individual ram specs in which case you were lucky to get them to run together.
Run cpu-z.
On the memory tab you will see the speed at which they are working, the voltage and cas numbers.
Note that because of dual channel, the actual speeds will be double what you see.

On the spd tab, you can see what is installed in each slot. as well as the possible xmp settings.

You might want to run memtest86 to test the ram.
You should be able to do a full pass with NO errors.

I bought the ram kit which was 16gb ( 2 8gb ) 3200 speed
im getting 1199.3MHZ on CPU-Z

You are running at 2400 speed, that is the default speed.
On the spd tab, you will see some profiles, described as JEDC #x
One of them will have a 1600 speed.

Go into the bios and access the ram settings.
You should be able to select a XMP profile with that 1600 speed.

I couldn't find the profile with the 1600 on the bios ( i found it on cpu-z ) i went into the bios and changed the ram frequency to 3200 ( i'm not sure if its the right move )

Check cpu-Z to see if your change actually worked.
Normally, and speed past 2400 requires overclocking and running at higher than the stock 1.2v.

on the cpu-z its 1599.1MHZ
Also a quick question does that effect the temperature of my pc ? i fee likes it getting hotter i just check it when i was playing a game it was on like 71C is that normal ?

Looks correct 2 x 1599.1MHZ is 3200 speed.
71c is nominal under load for Intel.
A cpu will slow down or shut off it it detects a dangerous temperature; that is around 100c.

AMD tends to run hotter.

the hottest it got 83c also im thinking about buying 2 or 3 120mm fans to put them in front just make it a little cooler. thank you for replying tho!
