Ryzen master incorrect ram speed?

Ryzen Master says my RAM is running at 1600MHz whereas both windows task manager and my mobo's bios say 3200.  Does anyone know why this might be?

DDR is double data rate. 3200 / 2 = 1600

 

You can run CMD to double check. Type "wmic memorychip get speed" and hit Enter. If its 3200 your RAM is running fine.

So the actual clock speed is 1600MHz, it's just sending 2 bits per clock tick?  (I don't know if "tick" is the right word, but you hopefully know what I mean)

Yeah its sending 2 signals every clock cycle.

 

Also Ryzen Master is known for some inaccuracies such as their temperature readings and earlier versions didn't even show RAM speed properly, I personally wouldn't use it for overclocking tbh
