RAM speed BIOS check

[bmx4637]

Hey I set the BIOS for 1600MHZ RAM the other day (which is what my ram is, check my link below)

How do I double check that it is actually doing 1600MHZ?

Also I was messing around the computer today and I got the blue screen of death I was reading it to find out what the hell just happened but the comp automatically rebooted and started fine working as usual but a little message said it shut down improperly because of some error and an option to click was "fix error" so I clicked it and it went away...wierd

Thanks,
Alex

Yeah it works. And you are actually running at 1600mhz because your memory is ddr meaning double data rate so in fact it is running 1600mhz. I just ran it and mine says that too.

Like said, DDR3 1600 runs at 800mhz. Just make sure your timing and voltage is set right.
