I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, under the memory settings in my bios I've set the memory frequency to target for 1600 mhz but I think I'm only achieving 1400.  Am I'm reading this wrong?
 
 
I have an x58 evga e758-a1 motherboard in case that helps

    It's probably your memory frequency ratio in the BIOS.

    Intel i9 10900K
    MSI MEG Z490 ACE
    ASUS TUF RTX 3090
    32GB G.Skill Trident Z Royal 4000MHz CL18
    SuperFlower Platinum SE 1200w

    CPU uncore frequency to X24




     
    But i have a Westmere xeon x5690 not an i7 900 series bloomfield
     
    In the bios it says the westmere-EP/gultown is supposed to be 1.5x while the bloomfield is supposed to be x2
     
     
    EDIT:  So I went ahead and did as you suggested and changed the CPU uncore frequency to X24, it still didn't change how cpu-z read the memory frequency, still showing same result as the one I posted in the screenshot.
     
    The only thing that changed was the NB Frequency.
     
    Is it possible the ratios beyond 2:10 such as 2:12 are not properly working on my motherboard?  Again I have an EVGA e758-a1 and I've set the ratio to 2:12, but in CPU-Z it only shows as 2:10, what's going on? :(

    Yeah, it could be your verzion of CPU-Z, you might want to try another version. Are you running the latest BIOS revision for your board?

    Last time I checked was about 2013 or so and as far as I'm aware the BIOS I had flashed to was the last official update that evga was going to issue, which was years prior to 2013.
     
     
    Are there any CPU-Z version you recommend I try?  Thinking about having to go through a bunch 1 by 1 is frustrating me already
