Ram reading is false?
Ram reading is false?
Hi all, i'm just starting with pc's and trying to optimize my i5. I noticed something with my CPU-Z. My motherboard came with one, so i thought i should update it, but instead of that, i downloaded a new version of CPU-Z. I have ram rated at 3200mhz and 16gb when xmp was enabled, but one was showing 3200mhz and the other wasn't. I found the problem to be that the CPU-Z with my motherboard is giving incorrect readings since AIDA 64, while the updated CPU-Z is showing the same numbers. Anyway, i'm confused about why they differ. Could it be an issue with my ram or something faulty? I'm really lost.
In fact, all three models display the same RAM speed—about 2133 MHz—though the CPU-Z version of the motherboard shows it doubled, while the other two don’t. This might be because someone at mobo team chose to hide the non-doubled figure, making it confusing for less experienced users, and then requested a change to show the doubled value, which is even more unclear.
yours is running 2000+

In short, it is real clock rate but ddr stands for double data rate, you need to times 2.
sooo i’m good? this confused me heavily

Actually, all 3 show same RAM speed - around 2133 MHz, except the motherboard version of CPU-Z shows it already doubled and the other two don't. Why? Probably someone at mobo team decided that showing non-doubled value is confusing to some
inexperienced users (because it is) and asked for a change to make it show doubled - which is now even more confusing.
No, the performance is below the maximum RAM capacity the system can handle. Pay attention to one reporting agent, typically the most recent CPUz update. Keep in mind it displays the DDR4 rate, meaning out of 3200Mhz, you're actually running around 2144. This could be due to a slight FSB adjustment; the BIOS might show half of what the CPUz reports.
