Under clocked RAM?

[A_Wild_SkyBear]

Hi there. I was starting up my system and opening my core apps today on my desktop when I noticed everything going a bit slow. I opened task manager to find my 8GB of Corsair 1866mhz RAM was actually running at 1300mhz. I went into the bios and set the timing manually to 1866mhz, then task manager only comes up saying its running at 1400mhz. WTF is going on?

 

Any help is appreciated. 

 

System as follows:

 

Motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HPQ0JLW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

 

Ram: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007Z1CVHW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00

 

CPU: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J56YSLM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01
