My RAM
So I have this RAM installed on my PC, but I'm confused about the advertised speed of 3000 MHz? The post is saying that it's 3000MHz but I don't seem to be getting that speed. I know it's a two-pack and that it's probably talking about per piece of ram but I'm not getting 1500 MHz per stick. I'm using CPU-Z and I'm getting a frequency of around 1060 MHz so that doesn't seem to add up.
On the SPD tab, under XMP-2998, the frequency is 1499 MHz as shown in the screenshot below so that adds up to the 3000 MHz on the product page but what about the other timings? My question is, what is XMP-2998 and why is that higher than the rest? I'm sorry, I'm new to this stuff but I just want to make sure I can get the most out of the RAM that I have and to be able to know the readings of it.
