Hello, your PC was assembled roughly a week ago and you're double-checking BIOS and fan configurations. You've noticed discrepancies in the DRAM speed readings—Bios shows 2133MHz, while Task Manager and CPU-Z display 3200MHz and 1599.6MHz respectively. This inconsistency might indicate a BIOS setting or configuration issue, or possibly incorrect fan speeds set in the BIOS. It’s worth verifying if the BIOS is correctly configured for your hardware or if there were any changes made during setup.

Apologies for the unclear update, I had some doubts about the process.

It makes sense to be puzzled. The BIOS also indicates it's operating at 3200mhz.

It operates at double data rate, which means 1599.6 x 2 equals roughly 3200 MHz. There aren<|pad|>, that’s the standard I’m seeing. It’s just how it’s designed.

This behavior matches what I anticipated. ASUS BIOS seems to display an unusual memory frequency, showing the JEDEC speed instead of the expected current rate. Checking the upper section reveals the 3200 MHz figure. CPU-Z accurately reflects the real memory speed, which is double what BIOS or Task Manager indicate. Because RAM operates at Double Data Rate, you should use the CPU-Z value and double it to determine the actual data rate.
