Hi, I assembled my PC with an experienced friend. It has 3600MHz RAM (two 8GB units), but it defaults to 2667MHz. After entering BIOS to enable the XMP profile and set it to 3600MHz, everything saved properly. After rebooting, I checked via NZXT Cam and Task Manager and still saw 2667MHz. I’m confused because the XMP profile isn’t working. My CPU is a Ryzen 5 2600, I have Corsair Vengeance LPX3600 and an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max.

Update the BIOS and chipset drivers accordingly. Proceed by manually configuring the device to 3600.

Run CPU-Z to verify the speed. It should display 1800Mhz, which matches the expected value. DDR operates at double rate, converting 1800Mhz to 3600Mhz.

Another method to assess memory speed involves entering "CMD" in the lower left corner of Windows. This will direct you to DOS, and upon launching the command prompt, typing "wmic memorychip get speed" will provide details.

Hi there, CPU-Z is showing your RAM speed as 1333Mhz. Appreciate the update!

Sure thing. It's operating at 2666Mhz, that's it. What kind of RAM are you using? Details like the manufacturer, model, and clock speeds matter.

Check if manual operation is supported. Refresh the BIOS and chipset drivers. Ensure RAM is installed in slots 2 and 4.

Adjusting manually had no effect either. RAM is set to 2 and 4, updates will occur tomorrow if a new USB stick is needed.
