I recently purchased an ROG Strix Scar II gaming laptop. The laptop is working great except for the RAM. It came with 1 stick of 16GB Samsung CL19 2666MHz RAM. I bought a second stick to install so that I could run dual channel, the second stick being 16GB Micron CL19 2666 MHz RAM. The RAM works and games seem to run fine, but I noticed that when monitoring the RAM with CPU-z or CAM software the RAM is only running at 2660 MHz (max = 2662 MHz, min = 2658 MHz).
Running at 6 MHz less than advertised doesn't seem like a big deal to me, but I wanted to check and make sure. Could it be a sign that something is wrong with the RAM? Or is one of the sticks just not capable of reaching the advertised 2666MHz? I know that it is better to match 2 of the same sticks of RAM, but I couldn't find the exact Samsung model that is installed.
Thanks in advance!
