Question about duel channel ram (noobm question ^^)

[Hasmir]

Hello there TH I have a pair of these rams:

In my bios the rams are set at 1333 Mhz, but should i set them, to run at 1866? Or just the half of it (933 mhz) since i have two? hope you can help me out 😀

set them to run at 1866 if that is the advertised speed, dual channel doesn't affect the base frequency, just allows them to sort of work in tandem. When you run CPUz you may see the 933Mhz speed but that is because it is double density and is running effectively running at twice that speed.

Okay - ill try that =)
