[SOLVED] how to fix ram speed

[blanctroopers]

so im having this problem that my ram speed is 2667mhz in task manager and 1366.7mhz in memory and in spd it shows 1798mhz in cpu z and i wonder if that is really my ram speed but in my bios it shows this

Nothing to fix,it's running at 2666MHz. It's DDR (Double Data Rate) some programs show base frequency which you have to multiply by 2 to get effective speed.

i actually forgot to specify that my ram speed is suppose to be 3600mhz do i still dont have nothing to fix?

i got a corsair lpx 16gb 3600mhz ram and in task manager it shows inly 2667mhz and in cpu z it shows 1336 mhz in memory amd 1798mhz in spd should i be worried that my ram is not on full speed ?

On the last photo you can see 3600 select it in the bios.

What do you see in the memory tab in CPU-Z ?
Did you enable XMP profile 1 ?

If you don't enable XMP, apparently your RAM will default to 2666 Mhz. CPU-Z shows you have an XMP profile for 3600 Mhz. So enable XMP and confirm it's running at 3600 Mhz. Might have to set speed manually. Shouldn't be necessary though.
If 3600 Mhz doesn't work, it's either your motherboard or CPUs Integrated Memory Controller limiting you. If you are on newer Ryzen, 3000-series and up, it should work. Intel is so-so, depends on what they allow. Chipset of motherboard etc. Ignore the "Officially supoorted" stuff. Both AMD and Intel only "officially" support 3200 Mhz. Obviously that is not the limit.

im trying ti select it nut it isnt letting me it keeps coming back to that 2666mhz setting

i already enabled my xmp profile 1 but i dont know why the speed is still 2666mhz

yes i did enable xmp and it says on the memory tab 1333mhz

Wgat are your MB and CPU, some are limited to certain speed ?

my mb is the asrock b550m steel legend and my cpu is 5600x

Overclock your ram manually.
Set latencies to 18-22-22-42
Command rate to 1T
DDR voltage to 1.35V

Set ram frequency to 2666mhz, test. This should work fine.
Then increase ram frequency one step at the time and test again - 2800,2933,3000,3200,3400,3600mhz.
At some point it will probably fail. Then return back to previous settings that worked.

Does the RAM have more than 1 profile? Maybe you need to activate profile 1 and set clockspeed at 3600 Mhz manually. I think that is what I had to do on my Asus mobo, Ryzen CPU. It's been years, I run my RAM overclocked. Beyond XMP.
