My 3600MHz ram runs at 1329Mhz

[Eddiezz]

Okay so i just upgraded my ram from 8gb (2x4) to a 16gb (2x8) and i fired up speccy to check out the ram. And in speccy it says 16,0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1329MHz. Why does it do that and are there any fixes?

 

This is the ram i bought: https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/Categories/Products/Memory/VENGEANCE-LPX/p/CMK16GX4M2Z3600C18

Is the ram installed in the right spots?

Its running at its default DDR4 stock speed.

 

You have to go to BIOS, an activate the XMP / DOCP Profile for your rams.

 

Its DOUBLE-DATA-Rate, so Speccy will give you half the speed. In this case its running at 2666MHz which is stock DDR4 speed. Your RAM needs DOCP / XMP profile to be activated to achive the 3600MHz. And speccy will show you that is running at ~1800MHz.
