[SOLVED] Slow ram speeds

[BChastard]

When i look at my task manager it says 2133hz ram speed, but i could have sworn i bought 3200hz, is this a bug or is there something i can do

you need to go in the bios generally pressing delete key before boot of your machine and set the speed of your ram to its xmp profile or manually setting it to the 3200. After which you need to save and exit then hopefully the machine boots like normal if not after a few attempts it will put speed at something else indicating it has a problem.

what could the problem be?

You need to set the XMP or DOCP profile for the ram in the motherboard bios or manually set the advertised specs of the memory kit in the bios. Some motherboard will automatically detect the fastest speed possible with your CPU.

What are your CPU and motherboard model?

if I had 3000hz ram what should I be setting the speed to, as I set it to 3000hz and now I am getting even lower at 1067hz

Like you've been told twice already;

Go into bios.

Go to where-ever your ram settings are (we don't know since you haven't posted full system specs).

Set the X.M.P Profile to ''ENABLED''.

If it gives you a popup, choose the profile it's showing up.

Save and exit bios.


If you have problems after that, then there's nothing else to be said until you provide full system specs.

i have tried it on 2 motherboards both supporting the frequency

Either pull a module out of the motherboard for the model number or get it from CPU-Z in the SPD Tab at the Part Number section. Post a screenshot or post the number.

This is a 2x8GB 3000 CL 16 kit. You still need to access the bios to set the ram to use XMP/DOCP setting or manually enter the speed and timings.
