It's kind of hard to find a solid answer elsewhere online, so thought I'd bring it to you guys.
Heres a screen dump of my current memory values:

Aaroona:
My CPU is over clocked to 4.3Ghz as well, from stock 3.4. Turns out the MB has got it so you can select "Power mode" or something, and it will overclock your CPU and have your RAM running at the quickest speed it can. So that's handy, I've been running at full speed since day 1 when I changed it :)

Any chance that youre using a Gigabyte motherboard with that Smart Quickboost tool??
RealityClash: Oh nevermind then :)
Something Ive just noticed with my RAM though is that CPU-Z is showing my RAM as running at 668MHz when I have a pair of 1600MHz sticks running in dual channel mode. Shouldnt this mean?they should be running at 800MHz?
RealityClash: Nope that cant be it, just had a look at the specs:
"Support for DDR3 2133/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules"
Is RAM always running at its maximum speed or dos the clock speed decrease when being used less like a CPU or GPU ?
b0untypure1: this is a menu in your bios
Advanced Frequency Settings Sub Menu (Continued)
BCLK/DMI/PEG Clock Control ..........................:[Enabled]
BCLK/DMI/PEG Frequency(0.1MHz) ......................: 1004
Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.).........................:[Disabled]
System Memory Multiplier (SPD) .........................:16
Memory Frequency(Mhz).....................................:1600
spd multiplies the frequency.... so if your frequency is 1000/1004 whatever, then change it from auto, to 16 like you thought. if its unstable, you may need to increase voltage. bear in mind an overclock voids your warranty (kingston is good warranty).
nah ur cpu will be sweet and your motherboard is one of the meanest overclocking boards so dont worry about that.
