Hello. The BIOS settings have been changed to 1333, but the benchmarks indicate 2666, while the actual DRAM frequency is 933... What could be causing this discrepancy?

Ensure you are in the correct section in CPUz. You must be in the Memory tab, not the SPD tab. Verify the Value in CPUz and multiply it by 2x to obtain the effective speed. For example, 1333 equals 2666MHz effective.

I understand, but all other data indicates a frequency of 1333mhz (2666), yet cpuz displays 1866 when doubled, whether I overclock or leave it auto as it was originally. Here are the results.
