Memory frequency low?

RomanNose · 1 Jan 2011 at 12:44

Just built this new build and it lists my frequency in cpu Z at 800 mhz, when It should be 1600 mhz.
The memory voltage is 1.5, I heard I might need to bump this up does anyone know what I should go to?

can you also post your CPU and Memory Specs?
It could be many problems, you may have your FSB: DRAM ratio incorrect, or there could be a Jumper on your motherboard which allows you to change the RAM Frequency.

If you can go into your BIOS and post what frequency is displayed in there, it would be a great help...

Also you don't manually up the voltage yourself, you change the frequency in the BIOS and the BIOS changed the voltages automatically to correspond to the frequency set.

800MHz via Cpuz is correct for DDR1600, real MHz speed is 800Mhz (800x2 dual data rate = 1600), nothing is wrong.

does CPU-Z Display this in MHz rather than MT/s?
I've never used it, thus I assumed it displays in MT/s

If so, then yes I agree, nothing is wrong and all is fine and dandy!

It lists the real MHz speed.
