Hey guys,
I have got 32GB G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600mhz(8GBx4) but i think they are reading slower than they should be.
Mobo is a Gigabyte GA-990-FXA-UD5
CPU is AMD FX8350 4.0Ghz 8core
Using CPU-Z & it states this...
DDR3
Channel: Dual
NB Frequency 2214.8 Mhz
DRAM Frequenct: 671.1Mhz
FSB DRAM: 3:10
CAS# Latency (CL) : 9.0 Clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay (tRCD): 9.0 Clocks
RAS# Precharge tRP: 9 Clocks
Cycle time (tRAS): 24 Clocks
Bank Cycle time (tRC): 33 clocks
I went into Bios Tweaker & found a section that said DRAM 1333Mhz so changed that to 1600Mhz but when restartng I came across this message
"The System has experienced boot failure because of overclocking.
Last settings in BIOS setup may nit coincide with current H/W states.
Current CPU speed: 20,0 x 200Mhz
Current Memory speed: 1333Mhz
Current HT speed: 2600Mhz
Press Del key to enter the BIOS setup or Any other Key to continue"
Please help as I am completely stumped on what to do.

If you can't change it in the BIOS, just leave it.
There isn't a big difference between 1333 & 1600MHz.
Just leave it, with 32GB RAM you won't even see the difference.

Your memory is running at 1333 MT/s (Megatransfers per second), but programs like Speccy read this as half of that measured in Hertz. This is because RAM transfers data at both ends of the clock signal, which causes unnecessary confusion. I hear a lot of people say their memory is running at 1600 MHz, which would equate to 3200 MT/s. The number of MT/s is what you see advertised by the manufacturer, BIOS, etc. and the number is MHz is what you'll see in monitoring programs like CPU-Z, Speccy, etc.
