Is this memory running correctly?

Hi all,

finishing my setup, I was wondering if this 8GB 1600mhz XMS3 Ram is running at the correct frequency. As I said I am pretty new to this, so please bear with me if my questions seem silly.

Thanks for all your help today.

Looks like its running at 1596.8MHz (basically 1600MHz) and 9-9-9-24-1T timings. The frequency is certainly correct, whether the timings are correct depends on what the rated timings of your particular XMS3 kit are. If it is advertised as "CL9" then everything is running as it should.

Thank you very much for the reply. That's great, I am finally beginning to make sense of it all.

If your confused by how he got ~1600Mhz ill explain...

The memory Frequency within CPU-Z says near 800Mhz.
As the Ram is DDR (Double Data Rate) you have to double the Mhz to get the effective speed.

800Mhz x 2 = 1600Mhz

Hope this helps mate.
