I just finished my first build but my E6400 is listed as 1.6ghz in CPU-Z. Also my Corsair XMS2 PC6400 is running as Single Channel. The type of mobo i am using is the Gigabyte 965P DS3. What can i do too fix this, do i need to update the bios?
 
I upgraded the bios through the internet and it hasnt changed anything. E6400 is still listed as 1.6ghz and the memory as Single channel.

"Edit" I noticed in CPU-Z the multiplier for the cpu is at x6. Shouldnt it be x8?
 
Do you have your RAM in the right slots? Usually this is the same-color (MSI it's one bank or the other, the slots next to each other). Further, if there is a CPU throttle (like AMD Cool 'n Quiet) turn it OFF. Don't know if Intel has such a thing on desktops though.
 
Thanks for the help. Moving the ram worked, its been such a long day i didnt even think of that lol. The ram is still listing in cpu z as 400mhz, shouldnt it be 800mhz? Also i got the cpu back to running at 2.1 earlier, it was some setting in the bios that i had to turn off. Anyone have any idea on the ram though?
