Piriform Speccy?

[MadOrc]

I first downloaded this program a few months ago and have used it on every computer I've built (5). It's purpose is to identify components in a computer, monitor temps, and give detailed system specs. I know it is a trustworthy program, it is made by the same people as CCleaner. But, i think it isn't working correctly. I bought a 2x8gb kit of Corsair Vengeance DDR4-3000 a while ago, but it shows as 1499mhz in Speccy. I am sure it is actually 3000mhz because it says so on the box and Corsair doesn't make DDR4-1499 (I don't think anyone does). It also detects my Asus GTX 1070 STRIX 8G as having 4096mb of RAM. While this might not be a big problem, I got another 16gb of DDR4-3000 for Christmas (for some reason???). Also, I might be adding another GTX 1070 in the future, and I don't know whether of not to trust Speccy on the 4gb RAM thing. Suggestions?

 

TL;DR I think Speccy is wrong??

Do you have the XMP profiles set in BIOS?

1499 * 2 = ~3000

It is at the correct speed.

It's called DDR because "double data rate"

Not sure, just a sec.

Because Speccy shows the real clock speed of your RAM (1499MHz). Since it's double data rate (DDR) RAM however the effective clock speed is actually 3000MHz (1499x2).

1500 * 2 = 3000. DDR means double data rate, it is showing it in its basic. You have 3000 Mhz.

just now realized you said the exact same. lmao.

Also, If you go to task manager, click on performance, and then memory it should show you the speed there also.
