I have this ram and i forced the ram/fsb ratio to 4:1 and it will not show it

DDR3 is double data rate, so 800 MHz x 2 = 1600 MHz

What?

Look at your CPU-Z memory tab. DDR stands for double data rate, so 800mhz times 2 = 1600mhz. You are running 1600mhz with 9-9-9-24 timings.

Exactly right. DDR3 1600 ram runs at 800MHz. If you look a the DDR3 marketing, it does not say DDR3 1600MHz, only DDR3 1600, which is the rating.

That is just the stock SPD setting. Some brands have conservative default settings because some motherboards have problems posting with overaggressive ram speeds and timings.

Just manually adjust your ram settings in the bios.

Once a weak question like this? Damn you google haters.
