What is the original Ram frequency ?

[abhisheksscorpion]

Hey folks

I have a bit of query here. I purchased Kingston khx1600c9d3b1/4g 4GB , with Variant code ASMH0831321.

The problem is that i read on a review that in that variant code , the first (083) 3 represents the frequency code which is 3 for 1333MHZ and 6 for 1666MZ . For eg in code APM N 08 6 13 21 , 6 represents for 1666MHZ.

I check with cpuz and my DRam freq is ~ 804 MHZ . Am i being skeptical or this is any other problem.

CPU-Z gives strange RAM clock speed readings. Try something else and post your results. Are you sure that your motherboard supports high clocked RAM and is using the RAM to it's full advantage?

That's dual channel memory which means 804mhz X 2 = the actual speed of 1,608mhz.

I am sure about the Mobo , it can support upto 2400MHz . The issue i am discussing here is regarding the ram frequency mentioned on the Variant code , which says i have 1333MHz , though i bought a 1666Mhz one , cpuZ verifies the same
