RAM speeds incorrect.

I recently upgraded the RAM in my 1st gen Ryzen PC. This new kit of RAM that I got is rated at 3200 MHz but windows task manager and other programs like geekbench 4 all list my RAM speeds at or arround 1065 MHz. I've tried to fix this by going into my Bios and changing the speeds manually but that did not work. If there is anything you can suggest that would be great.

1065 is the speed of your RAM, and the "DDR" in DDR4 stands for "Double Data Rate" so 1065 x 2 = 2130Mhz, (Basically, 2133Mhz -- stock speeds for DDR4)

1st gen Ryzen has a very iffy memory controller, so anything beyond 2666mhz isn't a gimmie.

if you set the speed in your BIOS to 2666Mhz, then programs should accurately show that (or 2666 / 2 = 1333)

Thank you for the clarification i was worried that something happened to cut my memory speeds like this.
