Ryzen 2200g with 16GB 3200MHz RAM and GTX 1050 Ti 450W power supply. The issue is that I configured the RAM in BIOS to 3200 MHz, but Task Manager displays it as 1600 MHz. I assumed it was a double data rate setting, though my own PC shows the right speed at 3866 MHz. Confused overall.

Task manager may sometimes work well and other times not so much regarding memory performance. Consider using alternatives such as cpu-z or hwmonitor.

It displays the memory details in CPU-Z, including the DDR speed and transfer rates. The value of 3200MHz is incorrect; it should be 3200 MT/s (mega transfers per second).

This approach avoids using Windows Task Manager.
