Not the correct tab.

'SPD' just reading what is flashed into the RAM profile.

 

Check the 'Memory' tab.

DDR4-3200 should say DRAM Frequency: 1600 MHz.

Hey guys! So i just upgraded my ram since mine was very bad. I purchasedd 16 gb of ddr4 ram,3200 mhz, more exactly corsair vengeance pro rgb. I have enabled A-XMP but in the bios and in cpu-z it still says my max ram frequency is 2133. I dont really know what to do since im pretty bad at computers and i was wondering if you guys could help me!

Primary PC: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | GPU: Crossfire Radeon 6870 + 6850 | RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 2X16 = 32GB @ 3600MHZ DDR4 | MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F | COOLER: COOLER MASTER ML360R | CASE: DEEPCOOL Matrexx 55 V3 ADD-RGB | PSU: GIGABYTE P850GM 80+ GOLD | SDD: CRUCIAL MX500 250GB |

Everything thats not colourful I haven't bought yet.

 

Secondary PC(Currently not operational): CPU:  INTEL Q8200S @ 2.33Ghz | GPU: GTX 750 ti / 760 | RAM: 4X2 = 8GB @ 800MHZ DDR2 OCZ Platinum | MOBO: ASUS P5E-VM SE | COOLER: Be Quiet!

You need to go to your BIOS and change it there is a profiles tab on the BIOS that once you choose the profile 1 ussually there's only one and there you go

In which tab does it say that? a picture would be helpful. I'm a little confused, because for me it says the half of the actual speed, that's because ram is DDR (DOUBLE Data Rate), but CPU-Z just shows the max bandwidth. So it has to doubled to get the actual max speed.

Silly me! On the memory tab it does infact say 1600 mhz. Id guess that means that its running at 3200 mhz. Rookie mistakes i guess :)
