It's 2400mhz. Since it's DDR(dual data rate) you multiply it by 2. 1200 x 2 = 2400.

DDR = double data rate so cpu-z aida64 etc shows your ram speed in half, your running at 2400 mhz. where you about to overclock ?

With DDR there is actual operating frequency and effective frequency.

DDR performs 2 data operations per cycle. Physically your ram operates at 1200mhz, but because of 2 operations per cycle, effective frequency is twice as much - 2400mhz.
