Uncertain about the functionality of XMP
Uncertain about the functionality of XMP
I adjusted my RAM settings using XMP. After setting it in the BIOS, I restarted my computer and checked Task Manager. It showed the RAM only operating at 2400 MHz. I also reviewed the CPU-Z data, noting that the DRAM frequency was rounded to 1200 MHz, which is half of the reported value. In the SPD section, there’s an entry listing 1600 MHz as a reference for 3200 MHz. Below are some images of what I observed.
DDR refers to double data rate. Multiplying the DRAM speed by two gives the actual RAM speed. In your situation, it's currently 2400 MHz, so your overclocking effort was unsuccessful.
Follow the instructions carefully and ensure all components are properly connected. If issues persist, check for any required software updates or compatibility settings.
