[SOLVED] Ram memory speeds set under the advertised speed

[SubukXV]

Hello!
So i have a problem with my ram memory speeds. I have 2 DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz and they are set to 1066 MHz (?) i have X.M.P enabled in BIOS.
I have set 3000MHz speed in bios also but still nothing. What can be the issue?
Thanks for all the answers, have a nice day!

it may be possible that you need to update your bios to make it work.
where are you reading this speed?

They are operating at 3000 according to memory tab, 1500*2, and correct timings as per XMP profile.

Also noticed slot 1 as being populated. Ram should be in 2nd and 4th slot from cpu.

Think what you're getting confused with is the module ID, 2133 (1066). Just like seeing a processors base speed in system information, it doesn't account for turbo speeds, just standard. Same with ram.

Yeah ill change it, currently i have ram on slots 3 and 4

Oh okay, i might get that wrong hah, still what about my ram size (16gb)
I formated my pc and the ram its like 90% stress while being at 9 gb?

What do you mean? Like high memory usage on idle?

Yeah do change slots asap. I missed single channel in your memory tab screenshot, just saw it now. You're not running in dual channel. Change to 2nd and 4th and channel # should say dual then.

Well i found out that my ram stick was broken, pc wouldnt boot after i switched places and after i switched them back to their original place it didnt turn on either. Then i tried booting with single ram's inserted to the moba. First one didnt work, i plugged in second one alone and it booted. Im gonna take my ram for warranty. Thanks for the help and have a nice day
