Help, 4 sticks or 2 sticks?
8 hours ago, Verksam said:Regardless of whether i am using 64GB (4x16) or 32GB (2x16), CPU-Z reports my memory speed as 3000mhz, Bios reports it at 4800mhz, and task manager 6000mhz. (The RAM should be 6000).
They're actually all reporting the same thing.
CPU-Z reports the actual memory clock, not the data rate that the kit is advertised at. Because RAM is double data rate, you multiply the frequency by 2 to get the data rate, so 3000MHz is actually 6000MT/s.
The BIOS is actually reporting DDR5 6000, you're just reading it in the wrong spot. ASUS is weird with how they do this, they put the supported JEDEC frequency of the sticks in that section rather than the reported frequency that you would expect to be there (everyone I know reads this wrong the first time they try, don't feel bad about this, it's poor UI design). If you look up under information, the memory section reports DDR5 6000 which is what the RAM is actually running at.
Task Manager is reporting 6000 MT/s, though it reports the wrong units just because it's what task manager does (it should be MT/s or Mbps, though Microsoft labels it wrong, same way how they label GiB as GB).
