Check if RAM speed is being limited or if the system is reporting incorrect ram speed.
Your system appears to have conflicting RAM speed information. The CPU-Z shows a higher rate than what you expect. Check your motherboard settings and ensure the RAM is properly seated and recognized. Also verify that the BIOS is correctly configured for the correct memory profile. If issues persist, consider testing with different RAM modules or consulting your motherboard manual for further troubleshooting.
TL;DR: The speed shown is accurate. DDR means double data rate, so double the CPU-Z value gives the memory's actual speed—about 3200Mhz. A bit longer: your RAM operates around 1600Mhz per tick, doing two transfers each, which explains the 3200MT/s figure. Manufacturers use 'Mhz' for this rate, while tools like CPU-Z display it as 1600Mhz.
