Hi i would like to ask if anyone has an issue with ram in their gigabyte motherboard(970a-ud3p am3+)
In bios it sais that my KINGSTON DIMM DDR3 8GB 1866MHz HX318LC11FB/8 HyperX Fury Black is running at its speed of 1866 mhz but when i look it up on windows it is 933 mhz. This is shown in CPU-Z as well if anyone has the soloution pls help  :D

The figure shown in CPUZ needs to be multiplied by two to get the correct speed.

So, 933 x 2 = 1866 - Your RAM is running at it's rated speed.
