The RAM information indicates your stick rated for 3200 is actually rated for 1600 and a stick rated for 2400 is only running at 1400. You're wondering how to resolve this issue on your Acer Predator PH315-53 laptop. The BIOS is quite restrictive, limiting many options available on PCs. Some features require special methods, like adjusting SATA settings or using specific keyboard shortcuts (such as pressing Ctrl+S for ACHI mode). You can always verify if those settings exist. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The system displays details about the newly installed RAM module, including its type, capacity, and any relevant specifications.

Many devices display real clocks instead of actual performance. For example, a DDR RAM stick at 1600 MHz is advertised as 3200 MT/s, labeled as 3200 MHz ("effective clock speed"). I can verify this using CPU-Z and provide screenshots of the memory and SPD tabs for each stick.

Reviewed cpu-z, but no per-stick tab detected. Here is the image you mentioned.

Which items would you like me to eliminate and provide a report on? There are two options.

The per stick setup is listed on the SPD page. CPU-Z indicates it operates around 1200 MHz, equating to 2400 MT/s. Combining 3200 MT/s and 2400 MT/s RAM would result in the slower of the two speeds.

It seemed you installed an additional DIMM on a machine that already had one. If so, remove the new one. Otherwise, discard one and verify the remaining stick is recognized correctly.
