That is 3200. DDR = Dual Data Rate On that pull down that shows 1600 in AMD CBS, look and tell me if you see a 3200. Nope. Not there. Not there because that "speed' is half what it is running at. You Main tab show it running at 3200. |

Just to add to what Wardog points out: DDR stands for " Double Data Rate" ------------- ASRock X370-ITX BIOS 4.50 R5 2600 Cryorig C7 EVGA GTX 950 75w 2x8GB Ballistix Sport LT 2933 960Evo M.2 256GB, Firecuda 1TB Win 10 Pro 64 1803 G-Unique Archdaemon 300 Watt Lian-li Q21B |

Yup, you are running at 3200. The base frequency is 1600 which is multiplied by 2 to give you 3200 operating frequency. DDR3 1600 runs at 800 base x2 and so on and so forth. Nothing wrong there at all  -------------
