You're considering replacing your 2.4 GHz GSKILL 16 GB RAM with Corsair Vengeance 2x8 CL14 3000 MHz RAM. The question is whether you can run 3.5 MHz RAM using the XMP option, if this model is compatible with the Z370 TUF PRO, and if it's a good investment.

When modules are labeled as "3000MHz", it indicates their maximum XMP performance. It seems you're wondering about operating at 3500MHz—this isn't a typical standard. A range of 3200-3400MHz might be feasible, but it would require manual adjustment. The XMP profile is limited to 3000MHz or less.

If the modules are advertised as "3000MHz", then that represents their top XMP setting. I wonder if running at 3500MHz is feasible? That speed isn't commonly used. Possibly 3200-3400MHz could work, but it would require manual adjustment. The XMP profile will cap at 3000MHz. The Corsair Vengeance 2x8 CL14 with 3000 MHz RAM includes an lpx option, which initially caused confusion. Are these lpx RAMs capable of being pushed to higher limits?

Not always. The "LPX" label doesn't specify details about speeds or performance. It's simply a low-profile designation.

In general, a low-profile design could mean fewer opportunities for higher clock speeds, but this isn't necessarily true in real-world applications.

Not necessarily. The "LPX" label doesn't indicate anything about speeds or clock rates. It's just a low-profile designation. In theory, such memory would have a reduced likelihood of higher clocks, though in practice the low-profile aspect doesn't affect performance. This image comes from the seller using a Z270 with rams at 3.5 MHz and the XMP option. What are your thoughts on this? How does he operate them at that frequency?

No, they're not... I believe so. The "MEM" is green and indicates both speed and usage (2714MB or 2.7GB), which corresponds to GPU memory speed.

He likely adjusted his BCLK frequency. Generally, people only modify the memory multiplier for OCing memory [strike](memory speed = BLCK × multiplier)[/strike].
Edit: memory speed equals BCLK multiplied by DRAM ratio and the multiplier.
Edit2: Nvm, this refers to VRAM speed, not system RAM speed.

Isn't that the memory rate for the GPU TJ?

The information I understand is that all GPU-related data is organized in a consistent column. From left to right, the top line shows GPU temperature, usage, fan speed, and clock speed. The following row lists RAM speed and the amount in use.
