Ram speed issue

[Vellexar]

I own some 3200 speed ddr4 corsair vengeance ram and in bios it says 3200 but in task manager it shows 1600. I am kinda confused and trying to play some tarkov but i am about to call it a day lol

DDR stands for Double Data Rate

 

1600x2=3200

Task Manager is sometimes weird but 1600 is correct, 1600x2 = 3200mhz

Nothing is wrong, continue gaming

Yep, working as expected.

Task Manager doesn't read frequencies correctly, especially on older hardware. What does something like CPU-Z say? 

 

If CPU-Z says it's doing 1600MHz, then it's at the right speed because RAM is double data rate (the 1600MHz translates into 3200MT/s). Task Manager reads the data rate but says the frequency (usually, again it's pretty frequently just wrong).

Everything is exactly as it should be. Nothing to worry about

Yep, thats whats expected. You're good to go. Ram is working as rated at 3200.
