Device detects faulty memory speed readings.
Hello! Your OMEN 25L gaming PC was set up with two 8GB DDR5 sticks from Kingston Fury. Recently, you added two new 8GB sticks each, but Windows is showing different speeds—4000 MHz and even 2000 MHz. I haven’t adjusted the XMP profiles yet, but it seems the RAM isn’t recognizing the new sticks properly. Could you check if the sticks are seated correctly or try a different RAM manufacturer?
It's pretty typical. Most people get confused about it, but it usually relates to RAM speed, the motherboard, or Windows settings. I can confirm my RAM isn't at 7200MHz—it's actually running at 3600MHz, possibly due to an MSI board or a specific configuration.
it's typical for the board to run slower than expected. you can check the bios for a setting to adjust the RAM frequency. use cpuz to get an accurate measurement—it usually shows half the advertised speed. for example, if it says 1700MHz, cpuz might show around 3400MHz. most people just look at MHz values, but the actual frequency is different. ddr chips are designed to run at their advertised speed, which is double the actual frequency.
The problem is clear though I didn't alter any settings. The RAM speed didn't adjust as expected.
Manufacturers of motherboards should ensure their BIOS functions correctly and operates properly.
