I have this RAM, and it should be running DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800), with a Cas Latency of 7 and Timings at 7-7-7-18. However I'm running at this:

I'm NOT over clocking currently, running at stock speed. How do I fix this? It's an Asus 79X motherboard if that helps. Everything's set to auto in the bios...do I have to manually set my ram timings here?

Keep in mind the stated 667 is half the actual speed. Its actually running at 1334. If you want to full speed you'll have to OC. Keep in mind DDR is Dual Data Rate.

You can manually set a higher memory multiplier and manually set the timings.

Yeah I was looking at the BIOS....it looks confusing...at least setting the multiplier anyway.
