Ok. So this past summer I built a gaming computer bought all the parts from newegg. A few minutes ago I went onto newegg and looked at my wishlist and all the parts I put in my pc. I went to the ram because I'm thinking about adding 8 more gigs. I saw the memory was 2400mhz and thought no mines 1600mhz and so I figured newegg had messed up. So I went to my gaming pc and took out one of the ram sticks and looked at it. Its 2400mhz! All this time I was thinking I had 1600mhz ram when I actually had 2400mhz ram. I had no idea

Gaming rig- Cpu- Amd 9590, 16gbs of G Skill Ram, Gpu- GTX 760 windforce 3 edition 2gb. A Thermaltake water 2.0 water cooler for my cpu. Keyboard- Thermaltake Posieden , Case- 750D, Mobo Asus 990fx R2.0. 24 inch Dell LED monitor

Check in BIOS or CPUZ, see if it's truly 2400MHZ or it downclocked.

 

I guess this is a happy fuck up? :P

Just cause it supports it, doesn't mean it's running it. Check and see if it's truly at 2400Mhz

I remember seeing it saying 1600. How would I get it to run at 2400mhz if motherboard supports it?

Go into the BIOS and overclock the shit out of it.

Go into the bios and look for your overclock settings, there will be a setting to change your RAM frequency.
