Tridnet Z RAM Performing Way Below Expectations in User Benchmark W/ xmp profile turned on

[giorgio.matessi]

So I recently bought (2x8) GB trident z ram and when I ran it through the User Benchmark test it performed well below average (38th percentile). I have enabled the x.m.p profiling on my BIOS but it didn't do very much. The RAM is also plugged in to the correct slots ( For me my second and fourth one) Any thought on how to improve it?

Do you have the RAM plugged into the correct slots for dual channel?

Yes I did! I updated my message, Thanks for the reminder!

Please download and run CPU-Z and post a screenshot of the Memory tab.

Edit: That motherboard doesn't support running your RAM faster than 2133 MHz. Enabling the XMP profile probably didn't do anything for that reason. Would explain why it's under performing.

WOuld you reccomend getting another motherboard?

 

[QwerkyPengwen]

If you want your ram to run at its rated speed then yes, a different motherboard is on order.

Intel CPUs aren't generally terribly sensitive to memory speed, I don't know if getting a new mobo just to run your RAM faster is worth it in terms of the performance gain you'll get from it. But it's up to you.
