RAM speed problem

Go to solution Solved by Dxer,

What program are you using to see the ram speed?

 

Typically you would multiply that reading by two.  So, if it says 1600, then it is running at 3200.

I noticed my RAM was only showing at 1533 or sometimes 1600, despite being rated at 3200. I'm running the AMD Ryzen 2700 on an MSI X470 Gaming Plus motherboard with an RTX 2070. I've gone into the BIOS and enabled XMP Profile 1 already and even changed the manual override to 3200. It's still showing the same 1533. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the timing or I'm maybe missing something. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah that's fine, the monitoring stuff will always show you the half, because memory works in double blah blah you can google it if you'd like...

 

1600x2 = 3200 it's running as advertised.

Oh, jesus christ on a stick. I'm using CPU-Z and it's perfectly fine. I had just got done downclocking it so it now shows 3066. I appreciate the help, friendos. Sorry for taking up a post spot.
