Using cpuz I noticed that my Ram was 800mhz which is actually 1600 mhz. I bought 1800mhz ram, is there something I'm missing, or did I get wrong ram?

Check the SPD tab. It should list the RAM type. You may have to manually set the correct RAM speed in the BIOS.

says max bandwidth- PC3-10700F (667 MHz)
Manufacturer- OCZ
Part Number-  OCZP18001G

No idea what that means, but I do know that I don't have corsair it seems. How do I change it in BIOS? Thanks for help.

Rolet, you should check your invioce and make sure you were not charged for more expensive RAM, and straighten that out if you were.
 
 
What we are looking for is the list of timings and voltages such as the ones under column EEP#1 in this screenshot from my system. This will tell you what to set your RAM to in your BIOS. If your system has been overclocked, you should contact DSO before adjusting your RAM speed. They may have specific reasons for running at the lower speed, and may have tightened the timings to compensate. If you are not comfortable navigating your BIOS, this is also a good reason to call DSO and have someone walk you through it.
