Hey everyone, I'm having an issue where the CMD and CPU-Z details don't align. I'm worried my RAM usage might not be handled correctly. The motherboard is an MSI 970A-G43 and the CPU is an AMD FX-8350 from 2015. Need to confirm if everything is set up properly for support.

DDR3 refers to a double data rate 3.2 x 667 MHz RAM standard, which is the type you're likely using based on your description.

You might want to turn on XMP in your BIOS and adjust the memory speed to auto or 2133 MHz. It’s possible, though not certain, that this will work. If it does, your RAM speed should display 1067 MHz due to Double Data Rate.

They match. 666.6Mhz on CPUID when rounded up equals 667Mhz, matching your command. If your RAM is 2133 and your motherboard/CPU supports it, it's best to configure it in BIOS to 1066 (DDR2 = 2133) or 800 (DDR2 = 1600).

According to the details, your CPU is compatible with up to 1866MHz RAM. The motherboard supports 4x DDR3 DIMMs for speeds ranging from DDR3-1066 up to 2133*(OC) MHz, with a maximum of 32GB. Start with the first RAM stick and observe its frequency. When running demanding tasks like games or heavy processing, RAM may require higher speeds. Consider using a Cinebench benchmark to verify the actual RAM frequency in the CPUZ tool. Alternatively, you may need to manually overclock the RAM, ensuring it is installed on DIMM 2 and DIMM 4 according to the manual instructions.

I just turned on XMP and adjusted the RAM's standard frequency to 2133MHz. It feels like the system is running more smoothly, thanks! Your quick help means a lot!
