Memory Speed

I bought this from Ock - Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Triple Channel Kit.

In cpuid 64 it says the below

Memory
DRAM FREQ = 539.7 MHZ
FSB DARAM = 2.8
CLOCKS = 8

Is this ram running at 1600mhz or not is the question?

Thanks

nicobass · 17 Jan 2011 at 21:32

In bios system multipier say x8 can go to x 18

is this a system set up issue on Ocks part?

I owe you a beer or two. The profile was not set at 4ghz cpu and ram is now running at 1600mhz ( selected OCUK profile )

Bit naughty of Ocks not to set this.

Another one solved. Thank you very much. Gonna monitor temps now. Thought it was running cold. Just looked and CPU temps are i7 950 @ 39 idle and underload not above 61c. I take it that's ok?
