Getting your first RAM purchase can be confusing. Let me guide you through it.

I checked the NCIX video and downloaded CPU-Z. You mentioned having a DDR4-2400, but the frequency shown in CPU-Z doesn’t match that. To pick the right RAM, compare the specifications listed in both tools and choose the one that matches your system requirements.
uncore works differently. I haven’t used Intel with Uncore directly, so I can’t give you a precise explanation, but it’s not related to memory frequency. The DRAM speed is your RAM rate—typically around 1200 MHz, though it reads closer to 1196, which is effectively 1200.
The real clock speed is shown. Your RAM operates at 1200MHz, and it handles 2400 MT/s—this is double the actual data rate due to double data rate technology. The DDR specification means each transfer occurs twice per clock cycle, resulting in an effective speed of 2400MHz.
Are you looking to increase your RAM capacity? Then yes, opt for a 2400MHz module and consider matching the brand and model, including the same clock speeds (the set of short dashes). Aim to replicate the existing sticks as closely as possible to avoid problems.
No, it doesn’t display those messages publicly. You probably don’t need to worry about any specific manufacturer.
Consider alternatives like Thaiphoon Burner for more specific details. Software identification isn't always reliable. Checking the label on the actual sticks is the safest approach.
