[SOLVED] RAM frequency

[Davson]

Hello, I am just wondering, if my RAM could run faster or not. I got Crucial Ballistix Sport LT Red 8Gb DDR4 2666 MHz and ASRock B450M PRO4 - AMD B450. That motherboard should use full potential of this RAM, but I just found out in CPU-Z, that it probably does not. Is there anything to improve on this RAM?

Yes it can run more of course, question is, what CPU you have and will you buy another 8GB of same memory? Motherboard is very good for overlocking memory and CPU.

Anyway you have to overlock your memory with DRAM Calculator, try to go for 2993 at least, youtube has a lot of videos for how to use it.

CPU is Ryzen 3 1300x with GTX 1060 6GB, I don't think more RAM would help me much, I was just wondering why is that RAM running on so low frequency (and also quite weird number) .. I thought, that motherboard is usually set up by default to 2133 or 2400 MHz ..

The ram rated speed is a multiple of the frequency in cpuz, so you're running at 1197x2 or approximately 2400Mhz.
