Hello

Reboot into BIOS, enable XMP and select Profile 1. Then run the scan again and see what it shows.

The memory is running at 667 MHz, which equals 1333 MT/s because of the Double Data Rate that gives DDR3 its name. Your kit is rated to run at up to 1866 MT/s, which is actually only 933 MHz. Most kits default to 1333 MT/s = 667 MHz, so you need to go into BIOS/UEFI and set it to the faster speed. With an Intel board it should be as simple as enabling XMP and picking the profile for DDR3-1866.

I have Gigabyte ga-970a-ud3.
I must go to Bios > UEFI> and then i will see what speed i have to chose?

Is this something like overcloking? how can i know those changes are 100% correct for my computer?

Yeah. I'm not entirely sure how it works on an AMD system, but it should be reasonably simple to set.

It was AUTO. i change it to Profile 1.
nothing changes :/ still speed same..
my motherboard have DUAL UEFI, is that something i must check?

I just saw something about my motherboard (GA-970A-UD3 (rev. 3.0) . and says

• 
  (Note 1) Due to a Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than the size of the physical memory installed.
  (Note 2) To support a DDR3 1866 MHz (and above) memory, you must install an AM3+ CPU first.

damn,, i dont know what to do :/ help me

Dual UEFI sounds like an unrelated feature.

What CPU do you have?

Dual UEFI sounds like an unrelated feature.

What CPU do you have?

CPU : AMD FX-8350 4.0GHZ 8-CORE
GPU : Gigabyte GeForce GTX760 2GB WindForce 3X OC (Rev 2.0)
RAM : Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3-1600MHz x2
PSU : Corsair Builder Series CX750M 80Plus Bronze
Case : Zalman z11 plus midi tower case

You do have processor with memory controller at 1866, your memory is actually 1600 MHz and is running at 1333 MHz effective (2x667).

this means that I should not worry?

 

[CountMike]

Right, you're OK with that but considering you have everything needed, you should make an effort to have everything running in unison at 1866 MHz.

means ? 😀

 

[CountMike]

Means you should get in the BIOS and set memory multiplier to x8.8.

thats like overclock?

 

[CountMike]

Except it's not OC, it's all standard for that combination, anything less is underclock.
