Dram Performance (possibly) Failing
Dram Performance (possibly) Failing
You've built your PC and everything seems to be recognized. The B660 ASUS DDR4 motherboard is working as expected. The RAM appears to be functioning correctly with a default speed of 3600 MHz. However, the EZ Mode shows a different speed (2133 MHz) and the DRAM status indicates both sticks are at 2400 MHz. This discrepancy might be due to how the system interprets the settings or a temporary configuration issue. Check your RAM connections and ensure they're properly seated. If the problem persists, try resetting the memory controller or consulting the manufacturer's support for further guidance.
When XMP is activated, the RAM operates at its specified rate. You can verify the performance using CPU-Z after the system boots into Windows. Keep in mind it displays the real clock frequency, such as 1800 MHz for a 3600 MT/s memory module.
If XMP is active and you're using Windows, just download and launch CPU-Z to verify the performance. The Memory section will display the present rate, the SPD section will list compatible rates and available XMP configurations for each drive. The speed shown in the BIOS isn't crucial at this stage; what matters is the actual rate after booting into Windows, which is where you'll be playing.
