Windows 8.1 Task Manager showing Wrong RAM speed!

[kevy508]

I recently built a new Z87 system with a 4670k overclocked to 4.5ghz, and 16gb RAM from Corsair rated at 1866mhz.

 

I enabled X.M.P. and everything but Task Manager shows it running at 1866. 

 

Task Manager shows 1333mhz

 

Any Ideas? 

 

To Clarify, I know how to initiate RAM Timings, and XMP... 

 

What is even weirder is that sometimes, it will display 1400mhz then later go back to 1333mhz. 

 

Thanks!

Well if you went into the BIOS and set it to 1866MHz, it's just a bug in 8.1 then I guess.

8.1 being 8.1

Don't worry about it, your system is fine.

It has to do with the way Windows gets the RAM info. Same for the CPU speed. They fixed some issues with Task Manager in 8.1, but not all. Hopefully in 8.2.

I think Microsoft was simply too busy in improving Windows 8.1 for small screen displays, trying to balance further the desktop, tablet, laptop experience, and doing optimizations for Win8 to run better on even lower end system to cover low powered tablets. Plus, probably, many delays related to the new restructuring that the company is having.. but that is just my guess.

Thank you for not just bashing win8 for no good reason.
