Hello I have a question today as to how do I make my ram run at advertised speed. It has the 11-11-11-24 timing 11 CAS at 1.5v but everytime I see the ram in windows Task Manager it says it running at 800mhz same with cam, how do I make it run at the 1600mhz advertised I am pretty avid at cpu overclocking but never done ram before. This is on AMD platform so XMP is not an option

it is, DDR, stands for Double Data Rate, so your ram will display 800mhz, which is single, but doubled it equates to your 1600. You are running your ram at the advertised speeds of 1600mhz.
