Hey guys,

I was recently overclocking my CPU and noticed that my 1600mhz ram was running at half frequency (400mhz) rather than normal (800mhz), I tried to set it back manually but since I dont know its voltage settings it just blue-screened. Can anyone please help me with this? 

 

Specs

Gtx 1050 ti sc

AMD FX 8300 (3.5ghz oc)

8GB of DDR3 ram

Thats because Double Data Rate (DDR3) RAM will show its base speed in some cases, While its actually double that.
