CMX6GX3M3A1600C9 1600 recognized as 1333?

Is my CMX6GX3M3A1600C9 3x2GB running at the wrong clock speed? What should I change to get the correct settings?

Everything you've posted shows it's running @ 1600, just not at the correct timings. Enable XMP and you'll be set to go.

Hey Wired,

 

CPU-Z shows the "Max Bandwidth" as "PC3-10700H (667 MHz)" instead of the PC3-12800 800 MHz of this RAM model, would enabling XMP correct this? Also, I never had experience configuring DIMMs before, so how would I enable this XMP option?

The SPD tab is STATIC. Never changes. It has NOTHING to do with the actual speed. No idea where XMP is in your BIOS.

I enabled XMP by going to BIOS > Memory Features > Memory SPD > [XMP Profile 1]

 

I don't understand what you mean by "The SPD tab is STATIC", is the "Max Bandwidth" shown in CPU not true and everything is at the correct specs?

 

Here are my new specs. Thanks for your help, Wired.

The information shown in the SPD tab is from the SPD info in the memory. It NEVER CHANGES. It's just default info and in no way reflects the actual speed of the memory. That's what the memory tab shows, the actual speed / timings.

If your memory is auto-detected at DDR3-1333 speed instead of Corsair's XMS3-1600 rating, this simply means that the memory is a native DDR3-1333 part and was manufactured prior to JEDEC's finalization of the official DDR3-1600 spec. This does not affect performance in any way as long as you manually set the correct parameters in the BIOS for your memory.
