Issues with RAM performance in a newly built system.
Issues with RAM performance in a newly built system.
I assembled a new computer and purchased this memory. Through CPU-Z, I noticed the RAM wasn't performing at its intended rate. I adjusted the settings in the BIOS by enabling DOCP and modifying the timing. After restarting my system and verifying again, it ran slightly faster but wasn't operating at full capacity.
The ram speed is determined by multiplying the FSB rate with a specific factor. In your diagram, the ratio is 3:54. Using 1796.4 divided by 54 gives approximately 33.26. Multiplying by 3 results in 99.8 Mhz. Therefore, your FSB speed is slightly lower than 100 Mhz. The actual frequency may fluctuate depending on the motherboard and temperature. You might try adjusting it by 0.1 or 0.2 Mhz in BIOS, but proceed cautiously—exceeding 101 Mhz can lead to issues like PCIe slot problems or SATA controller errors. Personally, a 7.6 Mhz difference is only about 0.25%, which is negligible.
