Hi,

I've got a new system setup with this RAM from OCUK - Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit.

To me these speeds look wrong, but I dont know much about RAM at all - is it setup incorrectly in the BIOS? (I swear when I looked in the BIOS it said 1600mhz target speed)

It's correct.

You have to double the speed shown on the CPU-Z memory tab as it's Double Date Rate RAM.

2x800MHz = 1600MHz.

Edit

The only thing I would check in the BIOS is the voltage the RAM is running at.

Make sure you have it as low as you can get it around 1.5V especially if this is a Sandy Bridge system.
