RAM not clocking properly

DR_Pingu · 17 Feb 2015 at 08:53

Did a Fire Strike test and looks at the settings afterwards; RAM speed was 667Mhz... My XMP Profile is set to "on" (Profile 1).

I've got 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 2133MHz (2x 4GB) on an ASUS VII HERO.

Any ideas?

Can you take a CPU-Z screenshot of the current RAM speed as well as the profiles on the RAM?

3Dmark is wrong.

I'll check CPU-Z when I get home which'll be around 4pm.

I was hoping that stu, just my own lack of knowledge of Benching software had me a bit put off.

Yeah 3dmark reporting on RAM speeds is pretty random, don't worry about it

Edit: Check as Orcvader suggested to be sure if you want though, always good to be confident in the answer

Type: DDR3
Size: 8192MBytes
Channels: Dual
NB Frequency: 4006.2MHz

Timing
DRAM Frequency: 1001.6 MHz
FSB: DRAM: 1:10
CAS Latency: 11 clocks
RAS to CAS Delay: 11 clocks
RAS Precharge: 11 clocks
Cycle Time: 31 clocks
Row Refresh Cycle Time: 160 clocks
Command Rate: 2T

Seemed like less hassle than uploading, but if it makes things easier I can do. Does that all look ok to you or...?

Ram frequency is wrong if xmp is enabled, should be 1066mhz

Are there two XMP profiles in the BIOS? one 2133 and another slower speed option.

DR_Pingu · 22 Feb 2015 at 03:07

Yeah it's 1066MHz now. Don't know why but some settings in BIOS changed (even though I hadn't done anything) including the AI Tuning off of XMP Profile 1 to Auto... Also the Frequency was 2000MHz too. No idea why that all changed but hey-ho it's apparently sorted now. Cheers guys.
