Why is my ram capping at 1064 ??  i want to know the actual speed

How about SPD tab?

Well the XPM profile has official rating  2132Mhz CL14

that 2mhz variance matters not.

[WhitetailAni]

DDR4-2132 = 1066 MHz.

Explanation:

Double Data Rate 4.

1066 x 2 = 2132.

According to a few other questions like this, that is correct.

Everything is as it should be. Including RAM running at its rated speed.

The RAM running at 2133Mhz is not running at 2400Mhz

so if i buy more ram what mhz do they need to be?

They should be rated at least 2133Mhz and CL14 or faster.

Not good idea to mix RAMs with different speeds and latencies though.

Thank you so much man! You helped me alot. Can i reward you in some way?

No reward needed, thanks.

Mind you, that the (latencies) CL14 - the lower the CL the better. Higher CL is worse. Just to consider before buying CL22 RAM.

ok, so CL15 is not reccomended but good? and dont mind but what does CL stand for?

Your ram should be the same speed so 2133mhz(in here you could buy higher number and limit it down to your current memory) and cl14(in here you could buy lower ex cl13 and set it higher in bios) It is recommendable to buy same memory as you have, it will lesser the amount of issues you can encounter

CAS latency. Lower is better, but CL is a multiplier and not a raw value. For example, DDR4 3000 with CL 15 has lower latency than DDR4 2666 CL 15.

 

for 2133, CL15 is pretty bad, that's a lot of latency.

I just searched my ram type and its not produced anymore, ill just wait a bit, save up some money and buy new ram.

If you only need more ram for some video editing or photo design purposes, you can basically buy any cheap ram. Having identical ram isn't a must.

 

but for gaming, you might want slightly faster. What motherboard are you currently using?

Chances are you will find some cheap DDR4 3000 or 3200 so that is definitely what you should go for
