So to start, my PC isn't terribly out of date but I am curious about why I see my RAM under-performing according to my userbenchmark score. According to it my RAM is performing in the 17th percentile (800mhz) compared to other users with the same sticks and hoped I could get some pointers here as to why that might be. 

 

This is the link to my build  https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/12040073

 

I'm using a crosshair v formula z mobo and and while I'm not super tech savvy on bios setting/overclocking I'm certain the sticks are in the correct channels going off the manual and I when I go into the bios I do have it set to the correct speed. So why does my benchmark score say I'm running it at half the mhz and what can I do to get the correct performance out of these sticks? Any pointers would be appreciated

You double whatever it tells you.  so if its 800 then its 1600Mhz RAM effectively
