Question about memory

[Raaied]

Hello

I have corsair vengeance 16gb 2x8gb led ddr4, 3200Mhz, but the bios read it only 2133Mhz

any advice?

Enable XMP mode in the bios. The motherboard will not set your ram to run at its advertised speeds by default. Those advertised speeds are saved to a XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) chip on the ram modules. XMP must be enabled in the bios for the motherboard to apply those speeds and timings to the ram.

Thank you

i enable xmp to profile 1, and after restart the bios become like this

also, cpu z data has been changed,

so i am good now?

Yup 1600x2=3200mhz as shown in cpu z. You need to double the number in DRAM frequency to account for DDR (Double data rate). Timings look correct as well CL16-18-18-36 is typical for 3200mhz ram.

Thanks man

How to know the model number? should i take the ram out and check it?

No problem. Did you buy them online? Link the exact sticks you bought and that would be fine too. It is on the sticks themselves (might be on the box too) but I wouldn't bother taking a stick out to check I am like 99% sure those timings are right.

Hi man

i took the ram out of the case, i was little bit Suspicious

this is it

is everything ok?

and why the motherboard does not read full speed by default?

 

[Dunlop0078]

Yup that is right. No motherboard that I am aware of turns on XMP by default, the motherboard will set the RAM to the DDR4 JDEC standard which is 2133mhz by default. The advertised speeds of that RAM is an overclocked setting, way beyond the JDEC standard, the mobo is not going to overclock your ram by default.

ah ok

so now my memory on 3200?

Yes indeed. The screenshot of CPU-Z you posted shows the RAM running at 3200mhz CL16-18-18-36, which is what it says on the back of that stick so everything looks right.
