    Use CPU-Z instead of Windows Task Manager to read CPU and RAM speed. Win Task Manager uses some algorithm to estimate the speed, so it's not accurate. Also I think there's some bug with the monitoring in Task Manger on Win 8.1.

    They're meant to using the low voltage sticks and I think that speed is the max the board will support.
