Increasing memory speed... Benchmarks still display standard rates instead of higher ones.
Increasing memory speed... Benchmarks still display standard rates instead of higher ones.
Good Day All,
I just built my PC and everything is working perfectly... It runs smoothly and overclocks nicely.
I have 3200 DDR4 RAM and set it to 3200 in the BIOS, but benchmarks show it's at 2333... I wanted to check if this was a mistake on the side or if the actual speed is higher. I was using 3D Mark for benchmarking.
My system specs are:
i7 6700K at 5 GHz
Asus Hero Alpha
16 GB G Skill Trident 3200
Corsair Hydro H110i
GTX 1080 Asus Strix (2124 OC)
Roswell 1000 w power supply
Multiple SSDs
A good Thermaltake case with many fans
Any further details, please let me know...
Thanks,
Adam
Did you turn on XMP in the BIOS (refer to the MoBo manual)?
After downloading, installing, or running CPUz, you should notice 1600 on the memory section. The first D in DDR stands for Double Data Rate, meaning doubling 1600 equals 3200
My dad's computer is giving incorrect readings about its memory performance. The most reliable method is to execute Memtest86 at www.memtest86.com. This will identify any issues and also show the memory bandwidth, helping you verify the results. *I think it should be around 62,000MBps when using 3200MHz DDR4 RAM (the exact number can change slightly depending on latency).*
I performed some benchmarks and observed that the RAM was consistently at 3200. I thought it might be the case but lacked confirmation. Thanks for the guidance...
