Hello, I'm sorry if this is a very generic question you get around here however I need help. I just installed 4 sticks of 4gb ram (2 kits of 2) which are 1600 Mhz. However they run at 666 mhz (Which I know gets doubled), I have been into bios and have had a play around and changed the frequency to 1600 Mhz and thats all I did. I did not change the voltages or anything. Here are a few images from CPUZ, I'm not if these numbers and frequencies are good or bad or risky. I also dont know if I should change anything else in BIOS or just changing the frequency to 1600 Mhz is all that is required. The DRAM voltages in BIOS was set to auto, but giving me the option of setting it manually.

Basically I'm an idiot so if anyone could point out problems with this or shove me in the right direction, that would be great.

Thanks much.

The "Memory" Tab shows actual speed the RAM is operating at.
The DRAM Frequency shows 800MHz. X 2=1600MHz.

Yeah what see is 1333 Ddr3 ram running at 1600 and if its running ok then you did it correctly.

Well if those frequencies are fine I'll leave it on 1600 then. I just don't want the thing to do into meltdown, if thats possible.

Thanks for the replies.

You have 4 sticks running at their rated speed. That should not cause problems.
