Just upgraded to a new system with the following pertinent specs:
Running a Passmark memory test, I'm barely clearing 2900 (online benchmarks seem to point to a 3600-ish average mark), and the UserBenchmark app puts me at 88% of expected speed.
Checking wmic tells me that the memory is running at 2133 instead of 3600 as well (which is weird to me).
I've gone in and manually set the timings, voltage, and multiplier in the BIOS, double-checked that XMP is turned on, but still not eking out the speed I'd expect.
Does anyone have any additional suggestions? Could it be bum RAM? I've got a few weeks left before the return/exchange window closes.
