The task manager value reflects the RAM clock speed, while CPU-Z shows the CPU's actual operating frequency. Both can be correct depending on the component being measured.

Your RAM speed is currently 2933 MHz. Go to the BIOS and adjust it back to 3200 MHz.

CPU-Z displays the real clock speed. DDR indicates double data rate, meaning two transfers occur per cycle. A 3200MHz RAM actually operates at 1600MHz with a rate of 3200 MT/s. Manufacturers typically label it in MHz for consumer clarity, though this can differ. Windows may report a slightly lower frequency, such as 3000MHz, which could affect BIOS clock accuracy—resulting in a reported 2933 MT/s for the RAM.

In fact, the tab in CPU-Z that displays the CPU speed isn't showing the real readings yet—it only shows pre-set modes in SPD. To see the actual speed, go to the "Memory" section in CPU-Z. For example, a 3600MHz CL16 processor will be listed accordingly.
