Right so I ditched my old sticks of ram and upgraded to 16gb of 1600 DDR3, however upon inspecting on CPU-Z, it shows they're running at max 800mhz.
Why is this? My motherboard should by all means support higher freqs.
As far as my understanding goes RAM should be about the simplest piece you can stick on a pc, just slab them in and it works as intended. This works half that and I'm confusied why it's not using their max potential..
