RAM not the right speed?

[koen388]

Okay, so i've recently noticed when i opened CPU-Z that my RAM is running at 1064.5 Mhz. Which it apparently has been running since i bought it a year ago. But the RAM is a DDR4-3000 kit and should be able to go up to 3000Mhz. I have no clue how to do this and i'd love to know.

My RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8 GB DDR4-3000

MoBo: MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon


I'd love to hear something from you guys since i want my PC to run as it should

Put the sticks in stocks A2/B2 then enable XMP/DOCP.

If it doesn't work then update the BIOS.

First, go into your bios and look for something that says XMP profile. Enable it, on many motherboards it's all you have to do. Mine which is a Gigabyte is a little more finicky for some reason with my Team group 3000MHZ.

I had to enable XMP, but for some reason, I also had to manually set the speed and adjust the vmem up slightly to 1.37. Mine was correctly setting to 1.35 for XMP and the correct CAS settings, but I couldn't get it to boot at any more than 2800MHZ, or 1400 by CPU-Z. I have spent some more time playing with it and now with the newest BIOS, vmem at 1.37 I can at least get it to run at 2866 (1432 MHZ), but I haven't played with it much lately to see if some more tweaking can get it up to the full 1500.

Alright, i went into BIOS and enabled XMP. I got the options for all the Mhz i could do, it went up to 3200 even thought my RAM should be 3000. Not sure if this is a problem or am i just going to overclock it if i would put it to 3200?
Thanks for the answer tho, i think i put it on like 2833 now. Didn't want to go beyond 3000 yet x) Shows 1463.7 in CPU-Z now but i guess that's right?

It shows 1463.7 because its DDR (Double Data Rate) so your memory is running at 2833 (close enough).

Yup! My Ram was at 2133 or something like that. Put it up to 2833 now tho. Thanks for helping me out
