I just got a new set of memory upgrading from Hyperx fury 8gb to corsair vengeance 16 gb.

 

When I open up speccy and CPUZ it says I have 16 gb but its saying its running at 1200 mhz instead of 2400mhz.

 

In my bios it has the speed set at 2400mhz

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte h110m-a

That would be where DDR (double data rate) comes in.  You take that CPUZ reading and multiply it by 2 to find your "speed".
