You need to quickly store data in your computer's memory.
Hey everyone, I know this might sound a bit confusing. I haven’t really focused on my RAM until someone mentioned it was slow—around 1059 MHz—and suggested replacing it. I checked my specs and found the Corsait vengeance at 3000MHZ, which matches what I bought. After looking into it more, I saw in a video that JayZTwocents recommended enabling XMP to get the advertised speed. I did that, but I’m still only getting half of what I expect. What’s missing to reach full performance? I’ve attached some CPU-Z screenshots: CPU 8600K, Motherboard Prime z370-A.
DDR stands for Double Data Rate 1500MHz x2, meaning it operates at 3000MHz effectively. This rate indicates two data transfers per clock cycle, even though the actual clock speed is 1500MHz. Your RAM is functioning correctly at the advertised speed.
