Hey,

After 2 years I finally noticed that my ram was only running at 1333mhz, moreover that it was only running on a single channel (Don't ask me how I haven't seen this, I really don't know). I moved the ram over a slot and have it running at dual channel now. The clock speed is still 1333mhz. My question is do i need to overclock or apply an XMP profile to boost it up to 2133mhz clock speed?

Thanks

Solution
Yes, it will run at default SPD timings unless you enable one of the other Profiles. You may have more then one XMP profile for that matter.
