Hey, I recently bought a Gigabyte 1650 Super Windforce OC and tried to use Aorus Engine to auto-scan it and apply an overclock. My base clock speeds are listed on the card as 1755MHz for cores and 12000MHz for memory. After running the auto scan, it seems to have set my speeds to 1980MHz core and 6000MHz memory according to HWMonitor. I was not happy with this apparently dropping my memory clock by half so I decided to try resetting it back to default settings and adjusting them manually myself. The problem is that when I click "default" or "apply," nothing seems to happen. HWMonitor still shows 1980MHz core and 6000MHz memory even after clearing the min/max values. To fix this, I deleted Aorus Engine and used DDU to uninstall my drivers and reinstall them. After that, I ran HWMonitor again but it still gives me the same numbers. From here, I downloaded MSI Afterburner to see if it would help but MSI Afterburner shows my settings as being at 1755MHz core clock (it does not show what memory clock is set to). When I run Rivatuner which comes with MSI Afterburner, it gives me the same numbers as HWMonitor: 1980MHz core and 6000MHz memory. When I adjust the clock speeds in Rivatuner, adding +50 brings my core clock to 2030MHz and adding +50 on memory brings my memory clock to 6050MHz. I can set it to 1755MHz core by setting it to -225 on the core clock settings but there seems to be no way to get my memory clock back to 12000MHz. So I am currently stuck and looking for any advice, if anything I just want to set my card to the default clocks it arrived with but I cant figure out how.

DDR-Ram stands for double data rate memory. That means the number 6000 you see isn't actually just 6000; it's doubling up to become 2 times faster, which is a total of 12000. Everything is working as planned.

DDR-Ram stands for Double Data rate ram. It means the number 6000 looks like it's just one speed, but actually counts as two times faster (so 12000 total). Everything is fine.

Hey, thanks for getting back to me. I think I figured that already because RAM speed is always listed like that too. I just didn't connect the dots all along.
