XMP - Profile 1 (2400)

I have 2 x 2400mhz sticks, I enabled them to run in XMP and it shows in the bios 2400, but in windows it shows up at 666.5 as per my signature, is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

What does CPU-Z memory tab tell you?

It should say 1200Mhz if set right (then times by two as its DDR).

It says exactly what my signature says, if you click it you get my CPU-Z result

I did save and exit, I also checked back in BIOS and XPM is still on

It wasn't showing in the Easy OC tool, just going to reboot and see if that sorted it

Rebooted and now have this, so EasyTune is showing as 2400 but CPU-Z is showing 1200 (or is it 1200*2=2400??)

Its 1200x2 = 2400Mhz.

Thanks once again Stulid.

I was thinking of adding my 2 old 8GB sticks, but as these are only 1333mhz, I believe it slows the lot down to that speed.

16GB is enough......................................for now
