Your RAM is running at 1600MHz (800Mhz X 2).
 
If you bought 1800 RAM you can go into your BIOS, changed the sync mode to "unlinked", then change the speed to 1800. Honestly, I doubt you will be able to tell the difference in performance.
 
 
You shouldn't have been charged for RAM overclocking, since you are actually running below your rated speed. The 1800 wouldn't overclock much if at all anyway - 1800 is close to the max the board can run.
 
You did get a nice memory fan out of the deal at least.

Dang that sucks Angry

Oh well, yeah the fan is nice. I will leave it as it is since the system is running fine, don't want to mess anything up.

Thanks for all the help Big%20smile
