RAM is at 1333MHz?

[DrGreen]

I recently upgraded to Windows 10. I have the HyperX 2x4GB that auto-overclocks itself to 1866MHz and I just noticed after upgrading to Windows 10, it says it only at 1333MHz. I had no issues with Windows 7, just plugged them in and they were at 1866MHz.

Can someone help me get it back to 1866MHz? I have the Asus Sabertooth Z87 motherboard.

Have you enabled XMP mode for your memory in the BIOS?

There should be a setting in BIOS with different RAM profiles, do it from there. There should be a "DRAM Frequency" setting you click on that lets you pick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4sx-GuY3CA

I just quickly googled how to change to XMP, found the Ai Tweaker and the only settings are auto and manual, which its set to auto. I would set it to manual, just don't want to screw with stuff i'm unsure about.

Ok, I'm a little confused now, I was going to do what the video stated, but my BIOs already recognizes the speeds and it also says the RAM is Kingston "1867MHz"
I have the DRAM freq set to 1866MHz but everything else is set to auto

Here is what CPU-Z says:

DRAM Freq - 932.8MHz
FSB: DRAM - 1:7
(CL) - 10.0 clocks
(tRCD) - 11 clocks
(tRP) - 10 clocks
(tRAS) - 30 clocks
(tRFC) - 243 clocks
(CR) - 1T

But, when I go to Task manager and go to Performance (Win10) It says:
Speed: 1333MHz
Is it possible Task Manager isn't showing the correct speed?

Everything is right but the 1333MHz. Any further help would be appreciated.

Found a lot of people have the task manager showing incorrect speeds, especially on windows 10. Sorry for wasting your time!

you could put it into manual and manually set it to 1866mhz in the BIOS, however XMP stands for xtreme memory profile. I assume it is ddr3 RAM and if so the standard the memory speed is 1600mhz so you would have to set the xmp manually to 1866mhz in order to use the extra speed as XMP is sort of a RAM overlock.

The RAM auto overclocks to 1866MHz, so there is no XMP setting at all. I did keep everything at auto, but I was able to set the DRAM frequency to 1866MHz (Or 1867MHz in the BIOS) without setting it to manual. It was simply a Task Manager/Windows issue, It doesn't like to show the real speed. I didn't notice until the Windows 10 update though.
