DRAM speed stands at 933Mhz, while the older RAM I used was running at 1200MHz or even 2400MHz, which is the CPU's limit. I own a new HP Pavilion Gaming laptop with a Ryzen 5 3550H and 8GB of KF426S15IB RAM (2x8GB). The specs for this RAM are 2666Mhz CL15. The GTX 1660Ti is running at its maximum, and the MSI Afterburner confirms the same. The question arises: Is DRAM frequency more important than Uncore frequency? And can I achieve a stable 1200MHz or 2400MHz performance like the previous RAM? Task Manager shows 2400MHz, but my BIOS doesn’t support XMP profiles.

The laptop might be struggling because of the new hardware limitations, possibly slowing down to make up for performance gaps. Even though 1866 is quite slow, DDR4 chips typically max out around 2133 MHz.

It seems the system might not be reporting correctly; HWiNFO indicates everything is okay despite potential issues.

I've seen similar problems before, where different hardware tools provide completely conflicting data, particularly about RAM. From what I understand, if everything seems normal on your end, focus on the bigger picture instead of getting caught up in minor discrepancies.

Sure, it seems to be performing better now. It was running at CL 15 and CL 17, with double the RAM, but it was just a question...

RAM performance adapts automatically, reaching up to 1200Mhz during heavy usage.
