Inquiries about boosting RAM speed
Inquiries about boosting RAM speed
I ended up using two 8GB DDR4 modules, each with a different clock speed—one at 2666 MHz and the other at 3000 MHz—running on a Ryzen system. Windows claims they’re now at 3000 MHz, but I’m curious if that’s accurate or if they’re actually still at 2666. Also, can I upgrade them to match the higher speed?
It might be accurate, though I’d prefer to check elsewhere besides Task Manager. Hwinfo and CPU-Z are quite dependable for checking memory configurations. Yes, you can do that too. Overclocking with mixed memory setups is a bit uncertain—personally I steer clear of it, since you could run into odd problems, but it’s achievable and I’ve tried it occasionally with mixed results.
I searched for your RAM settings and found that 3000 MHz is functioning properly. It’s still preferable to 2666 MHz.
The principles you grasp will likely explain why your DDR4 might perform better than listed. Mixing chips from three different makers can yield speeds around 3200 and 1.30V, even though the specs suggest otherwise.
