I have 'Team Group Edition 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C16 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit memory, is it correct for the SPD in CPUZ to show DDR-4 2400 (1200 Mhz) on each stick?

Memory DRAM frequency is reporting correct, as are timings

Yes. IIRC it just reads this number from the sticks as the default boot speed for itself before the user enables XMP. In this case the highest jedec profile TeamGroup put on the stick was 2400 Mhz.

More info:

"The other most common misconception comes in the SPD Tab of CPU-Z. In addition to other info provided, CPU-Z has a window they call "Max Bandwidth" which is one of the biggest misconceptions/myths/whatever there is on DRAM. Many people swear up and down that the software identifies the actual chips as being of a certain speed (most common 1066, 1333 and 1600) and identifies the sticks by the actual chips, and go on to say that if they are sold as 2133 they are really only 1333 or 1600 and have been OCed. NOT TRUE!, what shows up in the Max Bandwidth, comes from the SPD on the sticks and is the default boot designation for the sticks, that is the section of the SPD the BIOS looks at and tries to correspond to upon initial boot up or after a BIOS/CMOS rest. It has nothing to do with the actual chips used. If not for this area of the SPD, higher freq sticks wouldn?t be able to boot up by themselves, i.e. no mobo has a default of 1866, 2133, 2200, 2400, 2600, so if not for these default SPD settings you couldn?t ever get into the BIOS."

Great thanks so all ok. I take it XMP should be left enabled?
