The engine speed isn't performing as expected.
Your current setup uses a R5 2600 with 3.6 GHz, and you're seeing a reported RAM speed of 1496 MHz while the actual is 3000 MHz. Your friend suggested enabling XMP, which might help align the speed with your motherboard. Since you're just starting out, it's okay to ask for guidance—just be patient!
DDR4 stands for Double Data Rate. RAM makers might be hiding something. Your RAM operates around 1500 MHz, handling about 3000 MT/s or megatransfers each second. No issues here.
Yes, you can adjust the value from 1500 to 3000. Let me know how you'd like to proceed!
Operating at 3000 MHz demands a processing rate of 6000 MT/s, something DDR4 hasn't reached—and probably won't reach—ever. Understand it's functioning as intended.
