i have two identical RAM sticks bought at different times. i’m unsure if the system is showing the correct speeds, as bios, cmd, and task manager display 2133mhz even though the sticks are 3200mhz. i’ve tried enabling xmp several times to ensure proper OC settings, but the speed remains unchanged. according to some sources, the system only shows general module info and doesn’t read OC speeds. in another discussion about RAM upgrades, someone suggested resetting the CMOS, which i haven’t done yet because it would require major changes like re-cooling the CPU and adjusting cable routing inside my case. i’m checking other possibilities and looking for advice on what else to verify.
