As above really I have a laptop with an I5 11400 cpu and 16GB 2x8GB of 3200Mhz DDR4. Under the memory frequency tab on CPU Z it shows as 798Mhz. Windows system shows the speed as 3200Mhz but this is not a load test i believe ?

Is this normal or an issue with CPU Z or something going on with my laptop RAM ?

Thanks in advance
 
Under load it still shows 798Mhz on CPU Z but HWinfo is showing as 1600mhz. Tbh I’m thinking it might be a reporting error with CPUz ?

Could be an old version of CpuZ

I downloaded the latest from the site not sure if it’s been updated or not.

DDR stand for Double Date Rate, so some apps show the single rate, which in your case is 1600 as double rate would be 3200. It's still possible that your PC runs it at a lower frequency when not under load.

As long as the profile is set then it should be fine.

Was exoecting to see 1600 in CPU Z but it only shows 798Mhz even under load. Hw info shows 1600mhz. Its a laptop so not too many settings for profiles as far as I can tell.
