You bought the computer last month and noticed that Speccy and Cpu-z indicated a RAM speed of 1600MHz, while Windows shows it as 3200MHz. Which is accurate depends on the actual hardware. Check your RAM specifications to confirm the real speed.

TL;DR: Your RAM operates at around 1600Mhz, not the full 3200Mhz. It handles data in two ticks per cycle, making it DDR technology. Manufacturers label this speed as MT/s, which equals megatransfers per second. RAM tools like Task Manager may show different numbers depending on the method.

DDR stands for double data rate. That means 1600 equals 3200. Everything is fine.
