Is something wrong with my ram?

Take a look at the pictures. When ram is rated at 1.65V, are they talking about the DRAM? If so, that's probably the problem because mine is at 1.512V right now..

Also, why does CPU-Z say max bandwidth is 667MHz? is this a motherboard limitation? I have an MSI 890FXA-GD70

edit: super pi crashed after a little while,

and I found out that the IMC on the Phenom II X6 1055T only runs at 1333MHz, and supports 1.5V ram... might OC it soon.

Your ram is currently operating at 1.65V and don't worry about your bandwidth. You see with ram it is halfed, I can't remember why exactly, but if you double your max bandwidth then you should get the bandwidth that was promised by the manufacturer. Sorry about the more explanation. This isn't really my fortei. But anyway don't worry your ram it is operating at 1600MHz if you look at XMP-1600!

Here is a better explanation of why your ram is only showing 800Mhz in CPU-Z:
