Memory performance is limited to its specified maximum rate.
Hello, your DDR5 RAM isn't performing at its rated rate. While 6400 is often unstable, reaching at least 6000 would be better. You can check the speed using `sudo dmidecode -t memory | grep -i speed`. Your current speed reads 5600 MT/s. The BIOS shows a configured speed of 6400 MT/s, but the actual performance is lower.
You might want to try different BIOS settings or configurations, such as adjusting the voltage or trying another firmware version. If you're looking for a faster option, consider upgrading to a higher-speed variant like DDR5-6000 or even DDR5-6400 if supported.
Feel free to ask for more detailed steps or alternatives!
Their site mentions two XMP/EXPO accounts, one at 6000. I believe I already have the same motherboard. When choosing XMP in that section, can you pick different profiles? Since these look like Asus products, it seems unlikely. The interface appears a bit Linux-like, which might explain this.
This part shows how to handle the situation where your RAM is set up with just one profile, though if additional profiles exist it could be displayed incorrectly.
I'm using Linux with a dual-boot setup. On Windows, I noticed the RAM speed listed is 6400, but it doesn't actually reach that speed during testing. My Linux system also seems to confirm this issue. The boot time is unusually slow because it appears to perform RAM tuning to determine the best configuration. I plan to conduct further tests and share the results here. I've already tried Expo, Expo II, and Tweaked Already, but in all cases the performance was around 5200. I attempted to use motherboard-provided presets, though I had to re-flash the BIOS after a CMOS reset—even then the system would loop indefinitely on the Debug LED. I'm still looking for solutions and appreciate any assistance!
My bio setup matches Porina's exactly. For your Windows needs, I'll wait a few minutes and send the screenshots.
These images are from before but by morning they looked pretty much the same, no matter what I adjusted. After redoing it, it seems to function! If my understanding is correct, 3000mhz equals about 6000mt/s. The only difference was that this morning I had to change the BIOS before leaving, using the "Flashback Button" because the computer kept looping after a setting change. I re-flashed it with the same USB and file, but now I tried removing the CMOS battery too. Even after taking it out, it still wouldn’t boot, which is why I changed it again. In both instances, everything was set identically, even EXPO. It looks like some cache might have been cleared, causing the system to reset itself at 6000mt/s. Now it’s running at 6000Mhz with a voltage of 1.376V.
3000 MHZ equals 6000 MT/s, confirming double data rate. It transmits information twice per clock cycle. In BIOS you can choose 6000 MT/s and it works as expected. A 6400 MT/s rate will add more complexity, not because the system can't handle it, but since it's not perfectly synchronized with your hardware timing.
Yea I heard of that which is why I'm fine with just 6000MT/s, I literally got 6400MT/s because at the time I bought it, it was just the cheapest of all the kits Well now... my problem is solved I guess which I'm happy I'll stress test both my CPU and RAM now to see if everything is stable Also if there's truly some kind of cache, it may totally be my fault, since it's a new computer it did got powered off a few times while it might have been training... but that's just a theory, a computer theory (I totally did it and forgot about it, tho I'm not sure if that's the reason it might have been silently failing to run at 6000mt/s)
