More RAM?

[AlexanderNath]

I have a question, in my motherboard I have 2x8 ram ddr4 at 1866Mhz in dual channel, but in task manager it says the speed is at 2133Mhz and in CPU-Z it says the frequency is at 933.2 Mhz and NB reaches up to 2600Mhz, I don't know what's going on, can someone help me please?

It's DDR = Double Data Rate

933.2 MHZ x 2

Cpu-z might read it as half the frequency because you are running in dual channel mode, i've experienced this before. the other measurements are strange though

Nope, that is the correct speed. That is the single frequency, but because it's DDR ram, you have to times that with 2. I learned it on this forum.

If i'm not mistaken you might be the one who explained it to me the first time

Could be possible, I really helped a lot of people.

Oh, so 933.2 MHZ x 2 = 1866.4, so it appears that it runs how it should, Thanks! you answered my doubt , the only thing now is why does task manager and cpu-z shows more than that? I've searched in other pages and task manager appears to show often less than real, but i can't find why mine shows more than it should, it's kinda weird

Task manager shows the full speed, and may be a little off of other results. my task manager shows 1076mhz, instead of 1066MHz (my laptop ram specification).
