[SOLVED] RAM frequency

[KareemGT]

My dual channel RAM (2x4gb) are supposed to be 1600Mhz but CPU-Z is showing them to be running at 668.8Mhz, Is this normal?

RAM model : https://ibb.co/3rRCGMW

PC specs just in case:
MB: Asus M5A97 R2.0
CPU: AMD FX-8350 8 Cores @ 4.0 GHz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance (2x4 GB) 1600Mhz

Thank you!

You have to double it - so 668.8 x2 = 1337.6MHz. you want it to say 800 - the it would be running at 800 *2 = 1600. You need to go into the BIOS and load the XMP profile. Or set it manually. I would recommend the 1st option. Look under "Advanced" - but it depends on your BIOS/Mobo.

Thank you very much for your help. I couldn't find XMP anywhere in my BIOS but then I discovered through some googling that XMP is for Intel. AMD has something called D.O.C.P that does the same job.
