Question Ram is Extremely Slow? How?

[PaPies]

I'm literally running XMP 3200 on my bios, it says 1600 on cpu-z which is dual, so 3200 and yet on this benchmark my ram is extremely slow for some reason? What could be it be?

with 7 hours of testing, here we are. so I've ran a few tests and they didn't manage to find any problems, bruteforce the numbers is what got me something at least...

I am running the ram at CL16-3200, been since day 1.

but I've noticed some slowdowns lately. so I ran tests.
CL16-3200 =

CL16-3000 =

even 2400 gave me about same numbers if I am honest with you.


I find it hard to believe both sticks failed, which is why I tested them one by one and they were fine on cl16-3000 but not 3200, both failing ... idk insane luck I guess?

Could it be something else instead? like CPU?

What are your full system specs?

It almost sounds like the type of performance problem you'd have running an Intel system in Gear 2, but that very much shouldn't be happening with these low DRAM speeds.

Yeah Gear 1/2 isn't a thing on 10th Gen so that certainly shouldn't be the case. When you set it to 2400/3000 were you just manually setting the speeds? If so have you tried manually setting 3200 instead of just using XMP? While XMP shouldn't be a problem there is an outside chance that this may be the core of the issue.

The numbers you're seeing with the "slower" setup seems close to what you should be seeing.

I’ve set the XMP profile then manually adjusting the timing after that.
