Hi:

 

The memory speed is fine.

 

3200 MHz is the dual channel speed.

 

If your notebook has one DDR4-3200 memory chip, it runs in single channel mode (1600 MHz).

 

If your notebook has two DDR4-3200 MHz memory chips installed in matching capacities such as 2 x 8 GB, the memory is running at 3200 MHz (dual channel mode) but it is still reported as running at 1600 MHz.

 

If you run the free utility that I zipped up and attached below, it will tell you how your notebook's memory is running.

 

If single channel mode, then 1600 MHz is the answer = no problem.

 

If dual channel mode, you multiply the 1600 MHz by 2 = 3200 MHz = no problem.
