Which RAM speed do I have?

[SweMan574]

Hi!
I want to know my RAM speed. People said you can check the speed with CPU-Z and this is what I got: http://gyazo.com/33f9b59cc5f7416a4b86449c8023cb24
Does that mean my RAM speed is 2200MHz?? I got 8GB (2x4GB) G-Skill (Ripjaws I think, they look like this: http://www.umart.com.au/dbs/images/products/17125.jpg

you are just one tab away.in gpuz SPD tab shows manufacturer and part number and exteme memory profiles avaliable. dram 800mhz means your runs at 1600mhz

The "DRAM Frequency" is what you need to look at. Just double the value and that is the frequency your ram is running at.

Edit: Double it because cpuz report the raw data rate, and DDR stands for double data rate...so you double the raw rate to get the effective rate.

And if you do what chris said you can look up your exact ram dimms and see what they are rated for.

NO you need to look at your DRAM Frequency so you would be running 1600MHz ram that seems to be running just slightly fast @ 1605.2MHz

Right, this is it then http://gyazo.com/8749b0cfa18a14c6df3e9c3b7ce984cb
Does it say my speed at "Max Brandwidth? I just double it? So I got 1600MHz...??

Oh... I'm so stupid.... Thanks guys xD

Then these are the RAM's I got http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-12800cl9d-4gbrl

 

[SweMan574]

But I got.... 2 4GBs.... 8GB....

CPU-Z is showing 8GB at 1600 which is what you have - all is good 😉

 

[SweMan574]

OK thanks, mod 😀

Best answer goes to: chris987

You're not running your RAM at its optimum memory timings. You should be using the timings shown in the XMP-1600 column.

 

[SweMan574]

Timings?

How do I change it then?
