RAM not running at the right clock speed, help?

Video_Gamer_Bro · August 6, 2015, 3:42am

So, I built my first PC about a month ago and everything was running smoothly. Until I realized that my RAM wasn't running at the correct clock speed.
My PC parts list
I bought some blazing fast, awesome looking red Corsair Vengeance Pro, 32 gigs worth of it. I was fairly happy about the 2400Mhz until I realized it wasn't running at that speed.

Even in my bios it says that it's running at something like 1333Mhz, which is weird. Did some digging, saw some RAM voltage snafu with the Haswell refresh chips saying that at stock it's set to 1.5V max and that setting it to 1.65V will help the RAM run at the full speed.

But, I did do that in my bios and it doesn't seem to have changed anything. So anyone Have any advice? Anything you have would be immensely helpful.

you need to enable xmp profile in the bios.

Enable XMP profiles in the bios, and if that does work you can manually set it up although XMP should do the trick.

So I went through and set up the XMP profile (can't believe I missed something so simple) but even with the change in the profile and the bios reading the correct speed for the RAM. Nothing else is reading that speed though.

what about cpu-z? did that read it as 1333 or 2400?

MisteryAngel · August 6, 2015, 4:21am

fireup cpu-Z indeed click on the ram table and post some screenshots.

here is what CPU-Z is telling me right now. A bit strange.

Looks good to me.

MisteryAngel · August 6, 2015, 4:24am

yes you are good to go they run at 2400mhz

jon666 · August 6, 2015, 4:24am

Holy RAM, you can run that much at 2400?!

anon5205053 · August 6, 2015, 4:24am

remember the speed 2400 is DDR (this means you have 1200MHz 2x) dual data rate

MisteryAngel · August 6, 2015, 4:25am

exactly. ☺

Thanks guys, it seems that I keep forgetting the simplest things, it may just be I'm tired and worked a little over 8 hours today.
Either way, thank you for indulging my mistake and helping me correct it.

OVERCLOCK IT ALL. Ignore me. Takes too much time to test stability. Glad you got it all running to full spec though.
