Posted April 2, 2020 I bought 3200mhz ram just checking to see if it is running on that.https://gyazo.com/93aa6497b30443e09cba06502cd0e5f4 heres my cpu-z pic. and im using a x570 steel legend motherboard if i need to go in bios to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 2, 2020 You're only running at 2100, go into the bios and enable XMP Community Standards || Tech News Posting Guidelines ---======================================================================--- CPU: R5 3600 || GPU: RTX 3070|| Memory: 32GB @ 3200 || Cooler: Scythe Big Shuriken || PSU: 650W EVGA GM || Case: NR200P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So while it's running at 1066Mhz (ticks per second), it does two operations every second. So manufacturer just call it 2133Mhz. But CPU-Z and such read it out 'correctly'. 55 minutes ago, Dylan lol said: oh wow thanks how can you tell its on 2100? and where in the bios can i find this option? will it blatantly say XMP or will it be worded differently If you are running Intel: it will be XMP If you are running AMD: it might be XMP, A-XMP or DOCP (the latter is only used by ASUS on their AMD boards, the other manufacturers may use another name).

I'm not sure if it depends on which exact X570 AsRock board, I just found how to do it on the first Google result (which turned out to be the Taichi).

Your memory - if it's rated for a higher speed - will have an XMP profile built in that this function in the BIOS/UEFI reads out. So should be obvious.. Or there should be only one/two choices.

Check your motherboard manual Another question I have is what is the point of buying 3200 mhz ram if it doesnt give you 3200mhz out of the box, and u have to overclock it in the bios? Could you buy 2133mhz ram and just set it to 3200mhz in the bios? Or is the advertised ram speed the highest overclock you can run it at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 2, 2020 The ram runs at 3200, you just have to enable a setting for it to do so. If you bought 2133mhz memory, you can overclock but you wont get anywhere near 3200.
