The process of increasing memory speed isn't producing the expected results.
The process of increasing memory speed isn't producing the expected results.
You have 32 GB of RAM installed. The system reports a speed of 3200 MHz in Task Manager, while HWINFO shows 1600 MHz. This discrepancy might be normal depending on the workload. The memory kit you found is compatible with your existing F4-3200C16-16GVK and should work well if it meets the required specifications.
RAM operates at double data rate, meaning the real data speed (3200MT/s of your kit) is twice the memory frequency (1600MHz). Task Manager displays incorrect units, showing MHz instead of MT/s, a common mistake from manufacturers. Mixing RAM is unpredictable even for identical models. The specific IC inside the chip is crucial for compatibility, so variations can affect performance. This particular kit has roughly the same likelihood of working as any other 2x16GB 3200 CL16 rated unit.
