Memory Speed

Hi,

I have 8GB of Corsair Vengeance Blue memory and it says on the site that it should be 1600Mhz. However, in CPU-Z it shows the Frequency as something else?

I'm not particularly worried (unless I should be), but is there a reason why it does this? Just so I can add the answer to my growing bank of computer knowledge...

Thanks for that mate.

Changing it to the full 1600 Mhz - what are the benefits of that?

Apologies for the questions, I just like to know why things happen..

Here is my system...

I'll try and fiddle in the BIOS and see if I can get it to 1600Mhz. Wish me luck...

Aye, I took a picture with my phone but you beat me to it. I have set it to DDR-1600MHz.

Out of curiosity, with my CPU overclocked to 4.8GHz, will this affect the memory in any way?

Perfect, thanks very much for your help
