Speed fixed for RAM module.
you built your pc but didn't fully optimize ram performance. the advertised speed is 3200mhz, yet it's only showing around 1000mhz in msi afterburner. check if drivers are updated or if there are any conflicts affecting performance.
Task Manager shows CPU usage for RAM, while Afterburner displays GPU performance in VRAM speed.
MSI Afterburner displays the memory frequency of your graphics card. Interestingly, the speed it shows often aligns with your system's RAM rate. Even though your RAM is clocked at 2133MHz, the actual effective speed is about half due to double data rate transfers—so 2133MHz becomes roughly 1067MHz. The figure in MSI Afterburner isn't tied to your own memory; it's just a coincidence. Edit: It seems you're likely using an integrated graphics solution, which explains the match. With integrated graphics on CPUs, the system uses the same memory for VRAM. You should adjust your RAM speed via the UEFI BIOS. Restart your PC and press Del during boot to access the BIOS; before Windows loads, you'll see a vendor splash screen. Activate XMP (or DOCP on AMD) settings in BIOS to let the system automatically apply the rated speed if supported. Edited September 9, 2022 by Spotty – realized it was an APU.
