Help with RAM speed.

[mohammed.nihal7]

Basically my RAM (Samsung) has a speed of 2400 MHz but why does it shows that its running only at 1063? I tried benchmark and it says that I need to enable XMP or something, I am kinda new (actually very new) to PC. However, I don't have the uefi bios mode as well, it says LEGACY instead. Can anyone help me please? Thank you.

The speed of 1063MHz means they are running at 2133MHz because it is 1063MHz DDR (Double Data Rate) which gives an effective speed of 2133MHz.
To get them to run at 2400MHz you need to go into the BIOS and select the XMP profile for 2400MHz.

Hmm I think 2133 is decent, however windows 7 was extremely fast for me with LOW specs (4gb RAM, i5 6400 and in build graphics card), later on I upgraded my PC to windows 10 with GTX 1060 3GB SC, 8 GB Samsung RAM (2x 4GB) with same processor and the PC was extremely slow and laggy as crap, it always shows DISK 100% or any problems which cause the PC to lag like hell. I thought it could be because I didnt install windows with clean format, then after 2 months I re installed windows clean and still kinda feel the PC slow although its fresh as new, 100% disk usage most of the time as well. Any help please? Could it still be the RAM or Disk? I have 500 GB HDD but Ive been using the same HDD with Windows 7 and I never faced any problem as this. (even with only 4gb ram with inbuild GPU). Bench mark:
UserBenchmarks: Game 61%, Desk 46%, Work 33%
CPU: Intel Core i5-6400 - 67.4%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060-3GB - 68.6%
HDD: Toshiba DT01ACA050 500GB - 74.8%
RAM: Samsung M378A5244CB0-CRC 2x4GB - 62.4% ( Performing below potential (19th percentile) - Ensure that the top XMP BIOS profile is enabled)
MBD: HP 280 G2 MT (Non-Legacy)

Also, thank you for replying

Could be that your HDD is about to die. I would consider getting a SSD anyway for much improved speed.
Usually RAM errors will not cause a slow system but will cause freezing or BSOD.
